this early?
I just got off the phone with a fellow PGPGA member who lives in Rome
Pennsylvania, and he was all concerned about his freak of nature (as he
said it). He has a six ft vine, and every leaf junction he has a
blossom, but the strnage part is this, all of them are female already,
and no males.. My first instinct was to say WOW u have a six ft plant
already? But Leonard started his plant (it is a Wallace 720 EST) in the
middle of April, and had it in a green house until May 6th, when he went
outside with it.. My suggestion was to not worry about the first two or
three, but concentrate on the ones getting farther out, maybe the last
two that are at 5 and 6 ft.. This is kind of suicidal I told him, the
plant would kill itself if you set it inside 10 ft, but I also wouldnt
cull them off just yet, as some plants could become stingy and not give
him any more main vine females..
What would people on this list do witha six ft vine, with 5 females
attached to it, and no males in sight at his place, or my place, or
anywhere else for that matter for atleast 3 weeks?
