Planted one of my EST. 650 Diaz seeds from two years ago on 5/5. It broke soil on 5/5, and I planted it outside on 5/13.

I kept the biggest Box plant, because the smaller one was growing much slower. Today we had heavy wind gusts. The hoop house got knocked over, and the plant sustained a split above the ground.

This was going to be my main plant due to how fast it was growing, but now I am not so sure. I am going to wait to see what happens once it starts to vine.

The winds, and rain were horrible today. The rain must have softened the ground a lot, because the stakes were ripped out of the ground. They are all a least a foot into the ground. Needless to say the hoop houses went flying. One plant is thrashed, and the other two look very haggard. Will have to wait a few days to see what action needs to be taken.

Started 6 of the Supernatural Rootstock seeds to attempt to graft to 6 of my 3.308 Diaz seeds from 2010. If these first 6 fail I will try 6 more.

Took the hoop houses off of the pumpkins on 6/13/2013. Also, made my first 5 attempts at grafting tomatoes. I will start some more seeds to try again on Sunday.

My only tomato of the season weighed in at 4.104 lbs. I grew it off of my 3.308 lb. tomato from a few years back. I will post some more pictures once it reddens up.
