3.08 shenoha 2010 and 2.64 shenoha 2010 seeds off the ciesielski 09 (5.58 timm x self) tomato. 3.10 mills 2010 and a 2.41 shenoha 2010 seeds off the gordon graham seeds. 2.54 shenoha 2010 seeds off the brutus magnus. and hopefully some 2 pounder big zacs and more 2 pounders off the above plants still growing along with maybe a nice megabloom if it takes still on the 5.58 timm x self cieseielski seeds. these will all be sent to the gtg for other growers to have as much fun as i had this year with the tomatoes. got say it again, thanks a bunch treetop and pizza. i imagine from here out you will find more and more coming in as the weigh offs finish up and people let their last big ones finsish off. you might want to open up an invitation to anyone not in the gtg but willing to donate seeds from their 2010 tomatoes to help keep this thing going. anyone with even small tomatoes but from good genetics plants should save and dry seeds to help the cause and send them for others out there to try. i would encourage anyone who hasn't tried the tomatoes seriously to give it a run next year. i have had a blast with my friends and guys all year competing. pruning all suckers with 10 to 15 feet tall plants and only allowing one tomato at a time to soak up the juices is pretty damn kooky and cool. so take the time and ferment them and dry out and it will be fun watching other growers successes off your tomato seeds and help treetop and pizza keep this GTG fun going. all those people with the 5.58 timm and the harp plants going should save seeds from multiple small ones and bigger ones if they have the time to send in for the cause.

Still on vine and hopefully any real tonnage showing up at weighoff Sept 16th will share also.

It's nice to have the support here, on Grow'n RedFerGreatness, and our running a weighoff with some decent (for maters, okay?) prizes, helped both growing in the area AND entries in the County Fair...

It's been great to look at the tomato pictures as well, and need to remind y'all... PizzaPete and Treetop especially... the season is far from over, don't get antsy yet!

Grow'm bigger and bend those scales!
