Today I put in about a dozen 8 ft. spruce stakes in between the T-posts. These will help keep the twine tight between the T-posts and give more support to plants - at least that's the idea. It's a cheap alternative to the T posts at a buck each. However I did have to saw the ends so they go in the ground easier, and I have to put nails in them to fix the twine. So we'll see if in the end it was worth it. I still have another dozen to put in. Also: picked a few more suckers, and zapped a few more potato beetle egg clusters & larvae. No adults found this time. And finally, here's some F2 fruit. #55 now has more purple; beefsteaky; and looks pretty green too - this may be a good one. Also in order below are fruit from #40 and #50. Definite segregation for shape and probably the dark green. I did not record petal numbers today but I did notice one F2 with only 5-petal flowers.
