With the online contest going I was wondering how everybodys tomatoes were doing. I'm growing for a weighoff the 1st week of September & I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this monster bloom.

Excellant! But I'm not part of the online contest, so I will just have to eat them all. I have a lot of greenie fruit right now. I have aproximatly 100 plants so it looks like I will be eating a lot of spaghetti sauce this year. lol

I ate the first Early Girl, on June 20th. That plant was with buttons and two feet tall when planted. There is all kinds, of insanity here. It was seeded, to the pot, in Februrary, kept in a green house being nursed all the way up, to April 25th. when it went, to a temporary cold frame, in the patch. We had a moderate Spring. It took off and gave me the earliest fruit I have ever grown. The plant is now five, to six feet tall and just loaded, with ripening fruit. July the 4th. is considered early, for a ripe tomato in this neighborhood. I'm gloating and enjoying every minute, of the act. :)))

Bad luck today on my best plant I had 3 tomatoes around 2-3 pound on one vine and was going to cut one off today but when I got home the branch that was holding it broke above the wire and the tomatoes were laying on the ground. Still have a couple there that have some potential. Last years plant never broke a branch at all and this one has broke off 3 so far.
