I have just started 1947 Clementz, 1482 Kaminski, 1916 Barron, and 1865 Harnica.

They are all poking their heads up. :)

I have two patches. This is a view of the bottom patch. From left to right Reuben's 1738, my 1916, 1482, and 1947 as back up.

Here's the top patch with my 1865 on the left and Dad's 1696 kaminski on the right. Dad is using old carpet to keep the weeds down.

Here are my four early giant tomatoes. I'm pleased with how they are growing. Hopefully I will receive seeds from porkchop's 7.05 to plant this year still.

7.05 Porkchop seedlings germinated the other day. They're looking great!

1916 Barron. The fourth leaf shriveled up but the next couple are coming along ok.

1482 kaminski. You can see the double vine. It seems to be only one set of leaves. The yellow on the first true leaf is magnesium deficiency. I applied Epsom Salts and the leaves are greening up. There was a deficiency in all of the plants.

1947 Clementz. This one is competing for the patch with the 1482. I really like the look of it even though it is a little behind.

1856 Harnica. This one was hit hard by the snails. There is also sunburn on one of the leaves. Other than that, it's doing fine.
 
Monday, November 9 View Page
Early tomatoes are doing well. I'm interested to know whether it is best to have a tomato on the first or second cluster of flowers. These plants are just over a foot high and I can see the first flowers coming.

Megabloom on one of the early tomatoes.

7.05 porkchop are doing well outside.

1865 harnica. This one doesn't like the heat. Today got to 30 degrees and the plant was flagging a little.

Reuben's 1738 barron is growing well.

1947 clementz

1482 kaminski
 
Thursday, November 26 View Page
The 1916 barron is the best plant. It handles the heat well and is by far the largest plant

A mega bloom about 1 week after I removed the flower. It is at least a triple.

Here is a good double on the 2.2kg Brag.

The 2nd flower on the main of the 1738, probably the keeper

The first flower on the 1916 was slightly deformed
