June 11 update

Today, the garden is doing well.  Flamme will start to color up any day now.   No wilting or disease to report, other than a few yellowing branches here and there but not serious.  I did notice a few plants with aphids, but the plants seemed pretty healthy despite them.   Probably, the aphids will suffer parasitism and decline.

Twining twining bla bla blah.  It's not too bad tho.   I can see now, though, that the whole twining thing really does call for more pruning.  It's just a lot more time intensive then I can afford.  So, I have decent twining with rather dense foliage.   Hmm.  One drawback is that the purple color is less likely to develop on those fruits, as dense foliage = less direct sunlight to trigger anthocyanin.

Nevertheless, here's more purple to report. There's very nice color on some of the 24a and 46a, which should definitely be gf/gf.   Some decent purple on some 50b and 10b too, some of which may be gf/gf.  There's clearly more segregation of traits still going on: note 24a 4-3 looks beefsteak-y while 4-5 is not particularly.
