This week, quite a busy one, tying up more limbs, and being on the lookout for aphids, I noticed something that realy caught my eye on the Spudakee plants. 2 Thumbs! For those of you growing this variety, is this what you see as well?  And I didnt think I would notice this on the Cowlick Brandywines, until now. However the leaves are just a bit more sharper than the Spudakees, but still just as large.  I hated to take a pic on a cloudy day, but it happens sometimes. Any thoughts? |

Yes Blane, only mine are much smaller right now.hehehe ;D And I didnt think I would notice this on the Cowlick Brandywines, until now.

Blane,
what you see is a common thing where 2 secondary leaflets fuse onto the primary leaf. I call it a left right mitten and not a double one. Many of the PL varieties will exhibit this trait. Its just a super leaf form that has a large surface area for photosynthesis. Keep lookin though as those PL leaf forms are fascinating !!
