Hi everyone!!

Early this evening I was out doing some plant maintenance when I stopped to check on Godzilla. I pulled back his hammock to see some slight color flashing on the lower front part of him. I am going to leave him on the plant until my appointment with PA weights and Measures early next week.

I think he's heavy. He has the right shape along with everything lining up perfectly for an Ideal growing situation to have taken place.
His lineage includes the 7.33 Hunt and the 6.51 Meisner.

I really liked what Frank and Tina did with one of their tomatoes by having a guess the weight thread so I'm going to do the same.

Whoever guesses the closest to his weight will win some seeds from Godzilla.

Simply go to my diary page and look under July 24th's entries for Godzilla. The photo's of him were taken this morning.

Good luck!!

It looks huge but it has crevices that I think will subtract some from the weight.

Well my latest diary entries have been posted and the story has been told.

I did not have it officially weighed because it would be considered damaged by the GPC.

No worries on getting the tomato to fully ripen, it should be just fine.
The tomato weighs 4.15 LBS which makes gmay the winner of the contest with the entry of 4.12 LBS.

This is a highly desirable seed line with the 7.33 Hunt and the 6.51 Meisner being this tomatoes relatives.

Gmay please post your e-mail here and I will contact you for your address.

Thanks everyone for playing!

Correction; The tomato weighs 4.14 LBS not 4.15 LBS.

Thanks.

Thanks Smokey! I'm feeling better but still pretty miffed at myself. The tomato will produce a nice amount of seeds with a very impressive pedigree.

Thank you Bubba and Master P.!!!

Today I stepped away from my plants for a bit and took my AR-15, Glock-19 and my Kimber 1911 to my favorite outside range and shot some explosive targets. I felt alot better after that. :O)

Thanks guys!! Godzilla is over four pounds so I can't be upset at that and it is the first tomato of the season so I'm quite alright about that.

GMAY has contacted me and the seeds will be mailed out.

Sometimes all I need is to go to the salon to have my hair done a bit and have a few hundred rounds of ammunition go through my guns to make me feel better. :O)
