Jeff,

Couple more questions.

1. Don't you bring your vines inside over the winter??? If so I would
assume most of the buds should have survived.

2. The non-fruitful vines is an interesting issue. Hmmm........

3. Did you use the hot-house to get these things going this spring????
I would assume hot-houses are like BIG grow tubes and would assume that
is why your vines are so ahead of everyone elses and so vigorous. I
personnally don't use grow tubes and it would be interesting to know
how the vines respond when you take the hot-house down. I would assume
the vigor would slow until the natural environment catches up to the
climate of the hot house. I wouldn't assume a linear vigor pattern
because of that.
