3.56 Spaziani. Pollinated last week and sprayed with "Anthesis" a few days ago. Maybe a mutant as a result(?) At least 5-6 in there. I have at least 5 two week old tomatoes growing sprayed with "Anthesis" with 4-5 blooms each. All are growing better than I have ever seen. More importantly is the weather. Very unusual to have this stretch of 90's with lows near 70F. Hot/humid. We usually don't get humid here in Oregon. The AG's vines are growing triple the speed which means I have to bury vines even faster. They really like the warm evenings. But, we are running out of water. We added 180ft to an already existing 100ft (280ft) last summer. I run the drip irrigation 4x/24hrs for an hour which seems to be just right. The pump auto shuts off when the well runs down to the bottom and I have to wait for it to fill back in. I have a 500gallon tank on standby, filled, as a short term back up. It will only last a couple of days. Not sure how I will be able to sufficiently get through the Summer. Oh, and there is laundry, showers, other plants. We are in "if it's brown, flush it down" mode.
