Pete, I believe that yer suckin' wind! I've got some coming on, no worldbeaters though. I have 1 8.41 MacCoy plant & it is a teaser. At 1 point it had 3 big juicy 3X megablooms on it and I was working those blooms, trying to get them pollinated. One by one they dried up and dropped. I believe they have found it to be a little toasty! My biggest one right now has a circumference of 20.625 inches.

Disease has run rampant through my plants despite my best efforts to contain it.
I have had two tomatoes in the low four pound range. I had to remove the tomatoes due to disease killing the plants. I still have the Delmar brothers growing. One of them is now over 20 " CC. Trinity is still growing despite disease on the plant.
I have successfully pollinated a five fused bloom on a Zaczilla and is currently increasing in size. Oddly this plant has little to no disease so far so cross your fingers for me.

Early here but hanging tough.
Porkchop, I had a friend fly a drone over Master P's yard\greenhouse yesterday. In the video, it looked like beach balls covered in white sheets hanging off some very short tomato plants.
I can forward you the video but I don't want Master P. to know about this.

Flowers are just being pollinated here. A couple megablooms, but nothing big enough to write home about. Hopefully they will surprise me & grow bigger than they look. Good luck all.
Cheers, Jane & Phil

I have one with a 22" cc and one on the 8.41 that is about 21" cc. I picked one already that weighed 3.02 These things are really fun to grow. Does anyone know how to find out if my tomato if official?

I and my 3 grandchildren are first time growers. We have 22 plants in our high tunnel in Alaska. All MacCoy and Boudyo plants. All new to us. Have set tomatoes on almost all plants. Biggest so far 18 in circ. I made one mistake I know of- sprayed TKO Phosphite foliar during heat of day- caused some leaf roll but I think they will be ok. I understand these things grow for 35 days from tomato showing till harvest. Is that your experience?
