3.11 DeBacco ’14 (F: 4.46 Marley ’11 (F: 7.33 Hunt x self) “Prof. Matt” x M: Self) New Connecticut State Record!!!
Looks like the teacher still has the touch, since this (my) plant yielded the heaviest tomato out of the class. Not only is this the largest tomato in the class, but it is also a new Connecticut State Record! I was surprised and am very thankful to now hold two current state records, one in tomatoes and the other in pumpkins.
While all of the tomato plants were initially severely spray damaged (see diary entry on 1/24/14 @ http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=213337 ) I had confidence that the growing tips were still good and even though the turnaround was not immediate all of the plants did recover and are now growing excessively.
Also, everyone has been very impressed with size of all of the “cull” tomatoes. The tomatoes have all been flavorful, and dense which is perfect for large sandwiches. It is not every day you see a tomato around two pounds so it has been a great way to get people interested in Plant Science.
