1791 Holland 2013
The 1791 Holland is smaller than the 1843.5 Geddes 2012. I think the vine is shorter because it was put out later, but I can't figure out why the leaves are smaller and the vine is less thick.
On 5/30/14, the main vine was 2.0 ft. long

I had to replace the 1734.5 Steil with the 1791 Holland awhile back, as the 1734.5 just was not growing well. The 1791 had some white areas on a few leaves - I suspect it may have been sun scald, as I did not do a good job of hardening the plant off.
Yesterday, I applied the first doses of Mildew Cure, Biomin Calcium, and Bio-Repel (garlic oil insect repellant). The whole garage smelled like garlic for awhile. The plants also got doses of Liquid Seaweed and Humega.
We had 2.75 inches of rain earlier this week. Fortunately, both plants survived and are doing quite well. The pumpkin patch did not flood, which was a relief.
The greenhouses were taken down and put away about 2 weeks ago. Tonight is supposed to get down to 38 deg F, which is the coldest it has been for awhile. After tonight, it will be warmer on future nights.
