Well I'm not sure how to begin this....

I returned from vacation to find that Caspers probably has YVD. It did not grow at all and it's all turning yellow. Very bad. I'll be ripping that plant out.

Contrastly, the 2054 plant grew ferociously. It very much looks like the plant Strickler grew his state record on. However, the fruit I had set on it was rotting on the bottom, probably aborted due to the heat we had awhile back. I'll be checking and pruning that plant today to see if it got YVD as well and prune off whatever looks effected. There appear to be two fruits that our housesitter graciously pollinated for me while we were gone. I'll keep an eye on those and see if they set. If we don't get a fruit set from those I'm probably packin it in for the season.
