I have never grown German Giant before this year.

This year the GG was the least bushy of my plants. Grew straight, as tall or taller than the other varities I'm growing, and looked to me like it would not be very productive.

When I tied the others to the cattle panel supports with torn bedsheets a few weeks ago I didn't bother tying up the GG, because it had so few branches I could easily thread the leader throguh the panels.

So I go out about 10 days ago and the GG is prostrate on the ground. Turns out the biggest fruit set so far is on the German Giant.

Go figure.
