1546 x self about 16' to 17' this cooler cloudy morning. hope she takes cuz the one at 12'-13'didnt. that day in high winds and severe rain the zip tie slipped off thr female and petals open and she got flooded with water and already by next morning when petals were removed the lobes were in very bad shape. cleaning, captan, and fan didnt help. the other pollination that day on 679 is already laid down on day 4 and still shiney. its lobes were fine the following morning when petals were removed. 7 day old set is still growing nicely at 11.5' on the 1092. selfed the 1092 this morning at 17' this morning also. pollinated the 16' to 17' footer yesterday on the 679 again with the 1546. thats a cross i will grow next year if all goes well. got some megablooms set on 5 of 7 giant tomatoes. the 6.57 has one real nice double i decided to call the keeper and pulling off all new females. the other 4 are megabooms but too small to determine if the keepers. 3" off rain in 2 hours yesterday had me out there with a squirt bottle cleaning mud caked secondary cluster tips. plants look fine today.
