Quebec update


Hi y'all...glad to see Mallorn and the list back on :-)

Time for an update from up north :

On the 9th...had a first "invasion" of cuke beetles (man do they
eat)...fought back with Sevin...by the 14th, no cuke beetle was to be found
;-)

Here goes the vital stats :

1010 Mackenzie : first male blossom today...main vine at 109"...
                                longest secondary at 57"...vines are yellow,
they turn
                                green towards the top of the leaf stems...

727 Greer : first male blossom today (2) ...main at 84"...long sec at 41"
                    The leaves on this one are huge (many leaves at 24" +)

734 Marcellus : first male blossom today...main at 57"...longest sec at
                            39"

819 Stephenson : first male blossom today...main (actually this is a
                                secondary that replaced the main that I
broke a while
                                back) at 52"...I think this one would have
been a
                                serious contender for the top spot..

133 Rivard : main at 36"...this one is a reject of a fellow grower...decided
                        to that I couldn't see it thrown away (grown from my
                        seed)...I gave it an isolated location in the
garden...will let it
                        grow out onto the lawn...

Till next time...
