Re: Medicine Hat Update - August 16th

Bill,

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.  As last year, my fruit are slightly
behind yours and probably never would have caught up.  I now have 4 fruits
on my one and only plant; all about 400-450  lbs. and I don't know which
ones (if any) to cut off.  I have good measurement data and growth charts
if you want to look at them. I'll look for you at the weigh-off.
