Hummm. Date night at Casa Bonita in Denver. My wife took this photo of me bidding on the tomato Lots in the auction. Sorry, but the Wisconsin auction had some of the best lots of the year, blame them. :) ummmm can I have the password to the PayPal account?. What??...oh....Yes I promise I'll take you to Hobby lobby, Jo Anns, and the thrift stores tomorrow.

The winter grow tomato is blooming. The flower in front of the megabloom (bottom) is full open and ready to be pollinated. The mega is just starting to open (top)

Another flower opened up. Let's see how much pollen this one has. The mega has opened enough maybe I can start pollinating it.

Just.....wow.....what a frickin mess of a flower. Will this pollinate? Where do I stick the pollen? I'll just rub it all over and hope something sticks.

The very first flower pollinated. See the newborn tomato under the flower leaves.

I also did 4 clones for science. The sizes are by truss. The first truss sucker is the biggest clone. I don't usually try to grow them if they are this big or I cut them back but it looks like it might survive. The next biggest is second truss third is third and the smallest is the fourth truss sucker. It was very tiny with only maybe 3/4 of an inch of stem.
