Re: Big One Down
Sorry to hear you lost a big one, ken.
I'm curious though, what was it's circumference on day 10, 20,
and 30 verses the benchmarks??? Did it blow at the blossom
end??
I'm just wondering at what benchmark numbers you can suspect
that you've really crossed the line on growth??? I also think
that here in warm California the fruit grows a little faster
early but then the fruit matures a little earlier and so stops
growing sooner.
