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.

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
