and BOOM. A new WR at 839 tomatoes on a single truss (previously 488).
All needs to go thru Guinness etc, so hopefully they are happy with all the evidence and I�ve dotted the i�s and crossed the t�s!
A HUGE thanks to Matt for coming over and painstakingly cutting, assessing and counting individual tomatoes! .
