June 3 2017 update

Today: more twining.  It's a little more work now, mostly because I haven't kept aggressively pruning suckers. In the last few weeks the plants are now each putting out a bunch of new stems, so, they are very bushy.  This is probably not optimal, but it would be significantly more labor to have done all the proper suckering on the ~100 plants.   It took about 2 hours to get twining caught up - a lot of this was "stuffing" the branches into the existing twining too. But it's ok. :)

And, some F3 fruit are showing purpling which is quite rewarding to see.  Here are examples:  IR for comparison; 24a in spot 4-5; 46a in spot 5-10; 55a in spot 5-8.  First number is the row # (top to bottom) and the second number is the planting position (left to right).  See map for reference.
