Re: Butterball Blows By Baby Beluga - A Patch Update

same here - or at least pretty average weather (we had some late frosts -
hard ones - after i set the plants out in mid may.

the 831 main today is at 15 feet and longest seondaries are at 9 feet.

i have females on the main that should be ready in a week or two.

it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings....... the 995 carter plant should
have the first fruit set, i had to pull a malformed female off the 735 pukos
but everything is on target for the best window of opportunity in early
july.

how are other uk growers doing?

Chris
