For those of you in the know, this year is the year of the Double Spring - it brings double luck for those of you who have any...

I have two plants each in two patches, the Yin and Yang Patch and the back patch. On both plants in both patches the females on the main open on the same day! - every time!

In the back patch, the first females on the main opened June 20 on both plants. Then on June 24, which just happens to be my anniversary. I had a female open on the main of all four plants. The first females on the main vine of both plants in the Yin and Yang patch opened along with both the third females on the two main vines in the back patch.

Then, on June 28, the second females on both mains in the Yin and Yang patch opened again in perfect sync.... the third females opened the same day too but then I stopped keeping track.

Now for the double luck part....

The patch looks great this year Vince. I suspect BIG things are coming from the left coast this year.

Double here too... I had my 898 and 1354 plants give me 5 lobers on July 5th. Both are looking healthy and great!

Nice to see Vince up front again. Your patch looks great, pollenating with a paint brush, that I found interesting. Why do you use the paint brush and not just use the male itself as a brush of sorts?

With a small artist's brush you can reach all those secret private places....
