Hello! I’ve been sitting out giants this year for a side project so the diary has been quiet. But here goes… it’s counting time for a Guinness WR attempt for ‘most tomatoes on a single truss/stem’.

and BOOM. A new WR at 839 tomatoes on a single truss (previously 488).
All needs to go thru Guinness etc, so hopefully they are happy with all the evidence and I’ve dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s!
A HUGE thanks to Matt for coming over and painstakingly cutting, assessing and counting individual tomatoes! .

I’m back again for a ‘most tomatoes on a single truss’ WR attempt. There were more leaves and branches but I’ve trimmed it back for inspection.

Here the SINGLE truss - a monster. And yes, that is a normal sized trowel that measures 1ft in length!
