Re: Help with Definition
Hi Glenn,
I did the same thing in my patch and described it as a "half-cull". My call
on this would be that if it was done in the latter part of the season, you
had two fruit on the plant...if earlier on I'd call it a cull. I would
seperate the season at mid-point to determine the naming.
Just my 1.55 cents worth (US dollars)....2 cents worth (Canadian dollars)
Till next time....
