Ed - didn't find you on the map - let the bunch hang and plump out as long as you can - protect from frost- you might get lucky.
I wrap my late bunches with frost cloth to extend hang time..but once the temp drops below 50 consistently the growing season is over.

Now i am at Newark Airport waiting on my flight back home to FL.
Once i arrive i will inspect it and take some fotos and update .
Ok the big question is , if its indeed the Flower emerging , and we are at the end of August , would there be enuff time to harvest before the NE florida frost set in ?

Does it take 4 month before harvest ?
Thanks Ed..
