Ron,
Of course I remember. It killed off my entire Dwarf project TWICE. Then I had a solid month of completely saturated ground with standing water! By the time the ground dried out we were already having highs in the 90's Shortly after that it hit 100 a couple days! I couldn't catch a break this spring at all. And so far the only ripe fruit I have gotten is a single solitary sun gold F1. Even my carbon isn't doing anything, unlike your carbon copy. The good news is I have a ton of The Miracle BPF fruit set and something told me this spring to plant more than just 2 of them as I did most other varieties I trialed. So hopefully that early small determinate will get me by until the others finally start producing. A bit small for a slicer, but usable in a pinch. Also a couple Native sun managed to set before the heat hit. PS Last week was the first week I had both blooming plants and reasonable weather conditions for fruit set, so next week I will be looking closely for signs I may actually have a crop this year! Crossing fingers and toes.
