Memorial weekend update. Much cooler this weekend than the last few years. Temps have been consistently in the 65 to 75 degree window, with overnights between 50 and 55. The plants would really benefit if it were about 5-10 degrees warmer, though it's hard to complain about the temps as ideal as they are for spending time outside. It's been the wettest spring since 2019 here. The lake is very full. Trying to read the leaves suggests they need a little something, probably nitrogen. Wouldn't be surprised if the soluble nutrients are just flushed right out of the soil right now.
Path prep work is essentially done. Drip system is active but has been only used once to try and seed some microbes throughout the patch and confirm that it is working. Privacy screen/wind break is also up, though I need to put the finishing touches on it for the entrances. Vine burying has started but the secondaries aren't pushing too much yet. First male flowers on Maverick opened this weekend. She is probably 10 days out from option 1 being available for pollination and is looking very strong. Paton plant has gotten kicked around by the wind. Looks like the internodal density is a little more spaced than on the Mav and it's wind breaks have been less effective. 150 plants are in and chugging along. Will make a final decision as to who to go with in a few weeks.
