I think it's probably safe to say that this fruit has set. It's now about the size of a softball, or one of those mini-footballs that are sometimes given out as promotional gifts. I'm half tempted to etch some stitches into the side and try to sell the giant final product to the Argos. :-)
I'm pretty happy with the way that it is growing. But, I'd like to pollinate some other flowers just in case. I guess time will tell if I'll have that chance.
For now, this is my baby. I placed some thin styrafoam underneath the fruit to cusion it and keep it from sitting on the soggy ground. Given the weather lately, I should probably also put a bit of a shelter over top of it to keep it dry. Thankfully, it is growing under one of our neighbour's trees that hangs into our yard and is providing some natural shade and protection.
