2024 Plant Pollinations
150 Sf Plant - 6/16, 1st Pollination 2154 Sperry x Self, 2nd Pollination 2154 Sperry x 1980 Connolly (west patch)
6/20 1908 Connolly (west Patch) x 2154 Sperry
6/20 1908 Connolly (east patch) x 2465 Sperry
As of 6/25 my 2465 Sperry is not doing well in the heat. Wilts back by 10 a.m. each day and comes back after sundown. Little, if any growth since the start of a 7 day 95+ heat wave with low RH. Actually thought it was dead. If I can't get it
to recuperate and pollinated by 7/4 I plan to pull it. Both Connolly plants are strong as well as the 2154 Sperry. Some limited new growth damage due to heat. Watering every morning and cooling them off in the afternoon for a short period as well. Possible hail and high winds tomorrow night. Hope it misses me. Also, planted my last two 8.65 tomatoes on6/24 using my special sauce: Wow Humic, Rootshield, Azos, Mycos, Merrit, and granular humic, all watered in with some blue mixed with pink. What doesn't kill it makes it stronger. :)
