ever...besides a 26 degree night a few weeks ago that damaged the covered
plants a bit...but they seem to be doing well now....
I could have pollinated a 501.5 Beachy and a 648 Bhaskaran yesterday about
the 7ft mark...that is my earliest ever!B My min/max vine lengths last year
were 72 and 95".B This year 87 and 140"!B (in 2005 it was 36 and 60")
