There are still around 90 growing days for tomatoes left where I live. I was wondering how many possible big tomatoes do all of you have set. I have 5 set that are possibles but it is too early for me to say for sure how many blossoms are fused together in each one. I think to go for the gold you need at least three.

As of this morning I have 18 plants set and pruned. All are in various stages of tomato growth. All but two are from triple fused blooms. The other two are from four fused blooms.

I have a Mac Coy 8.41 with a six fused bloom in the wings and my fingers are crossed that I have it fully pollinated. Another few days and we will see.

I have 8 out of 11 set all on the first truss.
Looks like one particular seed that Marv sent me might out perform all the other ones this year if they perform like a big zac;)

I only have a nice one set on a 7.10, but I'm ahead of last year with most of my plants.

I have seven plants with 3 set on each and the one 7.10 Foss with my biggest so far. Will start culling tomorrow. Also a few Steakhouses with some nice blooms coming up soon. Marv I've also got a 4.77 Hunt plant that has extra leaves & suckers growing out of every leaf stem node all the way down each individual leaf limb. Their all doubled and yes , there is a Tomato set that is absolutely crazy looking. Its the size of a baseball at approx 4-5 dap. It looks like a big piece of green popcorn popped,lol.

I have a 3X & a 4X fruit on a Carol Chyko's Big Paste
I have a 3X fruit on a Delicious
I had a 3X fruit on a 5.63 Martin BZ that I wasn't able to find in the dark tonight!
I'm curious. I will definitely find it tomorrow morning before going to work.
