New flowers are just calyxes!?

discrepancy · June 29, 2010

My Red Brandywine keeps throwing buds that have nothing in them. They open up, and ... air! I'm up to blank flower #6. It's gotten to the point where I've been lifting the skirts of errr I mean peering into the flowerbuds on the other plants to see if they're doing the same. (So far, it's just the Brandywine. --> Oops, nevermind, the GOld Medal did it too. It's just the Brandywine that's done it for every bud it's produced so far

)

Is this the fault of the ridiculous heat NC's been having, or is there something I can do to stop this?
