So far 710 Companion and the 1180 Daletas are doing better than the rest of the cold rain soaked patch. LOL ( I thought I would get the disclaimer in.)

The 670 Diagle is my best plant right now with the 1273.5 Howard and 848* Mackenzie following very closely. So far this year my plants look twice as good three weeks earlier than last year!

6/10/2006 8:24:27 PM

1163.5 MacKenzie and 1333 Connolly. Think I will cross them. 1041.5 Sherwood looks good too.

1068 by far our best plants. started throwing main vine pumpkins even before the main was on the ground. 1173 macaroni and 500 wallace also doing well.

6/11/2006 6:44:46 AM

Marshfield, Ma, USA

My 1124 Hester is the best looking of four plants. Thick green vine with the tip of the main reaching for the sky. the sun has finally come out after five days of rain and I am looking forward to some good growth all around

1139 Sherwood, 1420 LaRue, 1180 Daletas, 1104 Hester are all neck and neck. My 1225 Jutras was cruising until the main vine snapped off, but it is ripping along with a retrained secondary.

I have a race between 4 plants, but i think the 125 Wolf is just slightly ahead of the rest....1173 macari, 1042 neuville, and 969 Ailts just behind...in no particular order.

6/11/2006 6:30:20 PM

1101 Northrup and 670 Daigle are dukin' it out but the 1101 has the gal. 846 Calai and 642 Simpson are close behind. 1260 has hit high gear and is knocking at the cold frame to escape. 250 Rys suffers from a broken main, second main stepping up to the plate nicely.

1157 Is a yellow vine Beast! Following along in a hovel of a site is the 1420 La Rue, The back up 1180 and 611.4* are coming along. Just hope I didn't kill all of them this week end with all the weeding, pruning and fertilization pushing! Plus it rained like a Ba$t^rd Saturday lightning big time and .89" in the rain gauge.

842 Eaton, 1068 Wallace & my own 839 Hunt are all about 5' long & ready to break out of their hoophouses any day now. I agree with Dick though, we really need some warm & sunny days.

Just an observartion. Probably not 100% accurate as I took this cut very quickly...

As for my plants... Best is not a good gauge because I got a slow start (1370 and 670 looking good though).

Ditto Mr. D...lol at Emma... second, the original question was..."what is your best growing plant". Sorta thought that meant "a" "single" "one" plant that is growing the best??? For me right now, considering the number of days the plant has been up and growing, I would have to say my 670 is as perfect plant as I have ever had at this stage....secondaries a little larger on the E. side than the west...I can live with that.... Grow 'em BIG...Peace, Wayne
