April showers bring may flowers? Not this year. This weekend was the first time we got rain. I haven't seen puddles in my yard since the snow was melting. The air is so refreshing! That being said, my first male flower opened today and it looks like another will be opening tomorrow. Within the next day or so the hot house will have to be removed and the 1126 will be free-birdin' it. I had to put it on the diagonal to make a bit more room for it as we are at a vine length of 7 feet now. I would have just taken it off completely instead of fussing with it, but looking at the temps for Thursday night, June 11th, we are back down to 4 Celsius. Today is only Monday; so, it's definitely going to be pushing it. Might have to do some adjustments.

Also got the drip tape laid out over most of the patch this weekend. I am just waiting for the hot house to be moved off before I move the tape around the plant. I know that it is a little late and not how it is usually done, but it took some time to get everything together. Quite excited to try this out! Thank you Tim at Flamans for helping me out with supplies.
