I have not been as dilligent as past years as far as the winter grow goes, but so far I have only noticed that Zowie is at 1.88 pounds and myself at 1.51 pounds.

I see that Henry has one set....who else has one weighed or still has something going?

I have really nice plants with lots of blooms just can’t set fruit. So I will not have anything for the challenge.

You weighed yours bnotor is that an estimate? Sad reality is... I got a mega set but its too late and the plant was never totally happy with my setup. Congrats all.

Brandon, I have weighed one already at 1.51 pounds...I still have another on the vine that as of today measures 16 inches cc. I am hoping to break 2 1/2 pounds with it but it has far to go. This year..if you can get anything on a scale, you have a chance of being in the top 3. Do you have your new mega set, Brandon, Henry and you could be close.

Ned...keep yours going. You still have time for a little one to get to competitive size.

What’s the dead line to weigh? Did you have to pre register or is it open weigh? I have a few fruit set but didn’t register if that’s required.

Dont think I will make top 3. Its a nice set and has not aborted though. The only competition I'm in is the try-not-to-get-last-place competition. I got last place in the ZachHeart competition so I would be happy to pass that torch to one of you dearest friends!

Not sure who is running it this year ? You can weigh the winter grow tomatoes on a home scale and i don't think their was a pre registration. Open to anyone. Last day to weigh in is march 20
