Those cold snaps messed up scape height and branching count on many DLs here too, Debra, despite all the winter precipitation.
Great branching, Tina, however you count it! I counted 6, but forgot about the more-than-one-bud rule, and didn't know that the "scape" doesn't count. I see people (that should know) count every floral extension, including the scape end- IE, a scape with only a terminal "V" counts as two branches, I believe.
Tina, I see the tarp occultation in your picture. Very smart! I need to solarize and occultate (?) now that things are hot. We have hit the mega-weed part of the year now.
