Last year I was 0/6 with the tomato grafts. This year I am 3/4. It pays to buy a hygrometer. I used the Supernatural Rootstock, and my own 4.104 seed.

Put all but the three grafted plants into the ground today. They need a few more days to harden off.

Found a bunch of these odd looking flowers throughout the season. I am sure they are common, but I have never seen them before.

Sadly it went down to a blossom end split on DAP 26. Too much rain. I will cut it up tomorrow. A shame I really liked the cross. There is always next year.

I waited 45 days for the seeds to mature, but I don't think that mattered. The smell was bad. I have two possible seeds for next year. I just wanted the genetics. I really liked the cross.
