today I got my first 2 fruits set (unfortunately they are not from a giant variety but from a strange colored one, grown in soil and now transplanted in water).
I'm still hoping that a big Epstein PL blossom will set, and I have other 2 giant varieties still without flowers.

my first ripe tomato of the season (a pink variant from old big zac seeds)
not big, maybe 1 pound, but we had too bad weather here in june, so I dont expect to get much better than that this year
the 5 gallon pots seemed to work very well in the first weeks, but now I think they are showing their limits

probably my best tomato of this unlucky season
grown from 5.53 Sandercock momate seed, in a 5 gallon air pot, it went just 1.60 lb
nice looking anyway

The same Sandercock momate plant in a 5 gallon pot gave me this 1.93 right after the 1.60 single.
The plant always looked unhealthy, curly leaves, late to set fruit, but it ended up giving me my first and second seasonal best.
I will definitely save seeds for next year.
