this tomato is on the 4.04 johnston/butler plant and was 19.75" circ this morning and still growing. i also have a 19" circ tomato still growing on the 4.25 lyons that is harder to get a pic of. i have a double banger siamese on the 5.18 lyons that is younger and at 16" circ. 2 other very younger recent megabloom sets on the the 5.35 lyons and 3.08 shenoha. i lost a nice one one the 3.08 to an oozing rotted split on a slightly calcium defcient tomato with a minor case of BER that healed but then split later in the area. very happy to be at this point with the hot summer. i used a heavy mulch around the bases of the plants in early july to help retain water more evenly as this area is very hot with reflecting sun off the new fence. the 7.33 never threw my a fused and after waiting til 6 feet tall i went with a single that isn't doing much. that plant is about 8' tall now and all have been topped and pruned at deifferent stages when i decided i would go with my keepers.
