Plant A: The first female flower was found on July 2. It was pollinated today. I closed the flower with a rubber band after pollination with 3 male flowers. Plant B was also found to have a female flower on July 2, but it is a few days behind Plant A in development.
Plant B had some of the leaves sagging downward orginally, rather than being upright like Plant A. There was also one leaf with yellowing and some small holes. I was wondering if this was Yellow Leaf Curl. After applying Actinovate to the leaves, the problem seems to have resolved, as all of the new leaves are now upright like they should be.
The older 2 girls helped me weed the patch on July 2. I buried more of the vines, and deadheaded a few of the secondary vines of Plant A, which had reached their max allowed length. It turns out that deadheading just involves snipping off the end of the vine and burying the remaining end.
