I expect this one to get the finish line. Still have a few days before it comes off the vine. It will be under 1 pound, measures 12 inches.

I am thinking with my phone I could for sure facetime a remote witness. My daughter might be able to tell me how I could livestream it. What do you think?...should I try to make get an official weight even though the new rules are not all in place?

Do you have an iphone chris? Or do other phones support facetime? I certainly would accept you as a witness.

My daughter told me live-streaming is easy...and said that it would not take much time to teach me how. She hasn't revealed her hourly rate for instruction. I am worried......

You are correct, i am not on facebook. My tech girl says there are multiple ways to stream. Youtube might be another option. Do you have a computer along with the phone. As long as you could tell me which direction to move the fruit and at the same time be able to see it, I think could get a reasonable good calling on soundness. The one problem I see is if there is a soft spot on the fruit.

It could take enough time for me to figure out the streaming...the tomato might be nearly bursting red.

As far as seeds...i do not know how many there will be. It could there is only one even though the Brutus blossom was hit with pollen from about 20 Delicious blossoms. It took 3 tries to get this set. I will be excited to see what it does.
