General updates here and I'll post the pics. We've gotten past the iron deficiency or whatever it was, and the leaves seem to be developing normally. If it hadn't been for all the rain we've gotten I would probably be watering with extra nitrogen right now. Pictured here is the 1363 Barker which I am/was using as a pollinator plant. I can confirm that it is not sterile....haha. Neither are the others but this one really mattered. It also happens to be my best plant at the moment....SO.....to reward it I am allowing a fruit to grow on it as well to see how heavy it goes. You can't see it but there is a female on the third node from the tip that will probably be ready to pollinate in a week or so. Perhaps less if it picks up speed. I will dead head the main a little ways after that to preserve room in the patch. I'm allowing three secondaries on the far side to grow out which you can probably see those in the pic. So it won't be a huge plant and may even qualify for the 150sq ft challenge if I bother to measure the space.
