Default I yanked em

Well, I yanked them out a few days ago. I HATE to have to do that. I had high hopes for Coyote since it was by far the most vigorous plant during the first few weeks and was the first to grow over the top of the cage.

So far, I haven't seen anymore of those tell-tale purplish spots and curly wilting of top growth.

In my hot and muggy NC garden, I'm seeing some yellowing and early fungal activity on a few plants--even hybrids like Sun Sugar and Better Boy. So I thought I'd share which plants are growing great, setting lots of fruit, and not a sign of pathology over here in this wonderland of bugs, virus and fungus called Chatham county ;-) :

Arkansas Traveler
Azoychka
Black from Tula
Cherokee Chocolate
Cherokee Purple
Paul Robeson
Kimberly
Black Cherry

These plants are doing well with less direct sunlight than they should get, and their spacing isn't ideal either.

Thanks for the previous advice and posts!
