Happy Saturday and Happy Father's Day tomorrow to those dad's out there.
Here's where I'm at as of today. As I discussed in yesterday's entry we had a very intense and violent thunderstorm yesterday afternoon which dumped over 2 inches of rain at my location in approx 45 minutes.
Since I live on a slight hill there was no flooding here but there was some moderate flooding throughout the Lehigh Valley.
Today is a different story. Partly sunny skies and much lower humidity has made for a nice morning. I bottom fed 10-52-10 to the plants along with spraying the lower leaves with fungicide as a preventative measure since we have received so much moisture over the past week.
I currently have five tomatoes set on various plants. They are as follows;
One tomato fully set from a three fused bloom on one of my 5.11 Daho plants.
One tomato fully set from a three fused bloom on one of my 6.57 Boudyo plants.
Two tomatoes fully set from two two fused blooms on one of my 4.46 Diehl plants.
One tomato fully set from a four fused bloom on another 4.46 Diehl plant.
The mega blooms currently in maturing stages are as follows;
A four fused bloom on one of my 4.03 Diehl plants (Mega Marv)
A three fused bloom on another 4.03 Diehl plants (Mega Marv)
The last bloom is one I've been speaking about and have photographed in earlier entries, it's looking like it will be either a five or six fused bloom on the 3.01 Christensen plant. The 3.01 Christensen is from the 6.51 Meisner which is the current PA state record holder. This bloom if everything works out could hold my personal best so far. I personally have never seen nor have I had a mega bloom of this size and magnitude on a plant before. I'm doing everything in my power to move it to maturity, pollinate it and have it set a tomato.
