Patch update - No rain for three weeks and only once in the last five. No wonder the forests are on Fire!
No bees, bugs or moths. In fact no pest pressure at all. Hung out three sticky traps with the first flowers opening Cucumber beetle season is fast approaching.
Drenching daily as soil permits with heavy worm compost teas, Humic acid, Kelp & Fish.
Pre-charging the patch soil with soluble P & K in the still bare areas.
2537 is completely out of its funk. May go with a female on the 14th node. Despite short node lengths at the crown plus a single doubled side vine its doing well now.
1144* main vine is well out there. Female a day or so away at node 17. A few of the side vines have doubled out to the first or second node.
