Finally got a little time to start working on tomato stuff. Work went crazy this year for the Hollidays. Usually construction slows way down. But this year it's insane. Now I'm way behind with my asking growers for tomato seeds for our club auction, and updating the tomato genetics tree with this years tomatoes. That crazy brown seed is going to make me have to rearrange the whole chart to make all the tomatoes grown from it fit.

Poor Big Zac tree. This is the last tomato to make it into the 7+lb and only one from 2021. None in 2022 or 2023. Kicking around the idea of doing a "Bring back Big Zac" lot for our club auction. If there are no Big Zac next year I will probably chop that side of the genetics tree off archive it and save room for the ever expanding Domingo tree. I'm a sucker for an underdog so I'm rooting for ya BigZac.

Might be one or two megas. Plant seems to love it in the southern window with the sun at such a low angle this time of year.

It's -11° outside but the 9.65 is starting to flower inside.

Working on the RMGVG auction list. This is a sneak peak at my "bring back Big Zac" lot. A lot of good and interesting Zac maters.

Google's A.I. called "Bard" just introduced drawing images. Figured I'd give it a go "Farmer holding a giant tomato" pretty good.

They seem to have made it a point to make the thing very inclusive. Not every photo is of a white male lol. It did a great job on the tomato I added the line "more realistic" for this one.

It seems to be better at creating logos than the other image generators i've tried.

A.I. is just amazing honestly. You might have to try several times but you can just talk to it like a normal person and it will adjust the image how you want it.
