noah on day 40 is 137+86+82=305 OTT and estimated at exactly 600 lbs on the 2005 chart. tre' on day 32 is 110+68+72.5=250.5 and estimated at 339 lbs. lucky is still growing but slowly and is 80+52+52=184 OTT and estimated at 142 lbs. on day 26 and getting prettier every day. here is a picture of my biggest tomato so far. each plant has about 4 good ones growing and i have culled all other tomatoes off each plant and will continue to do so from here on out.
the plants are 8.5' tall and i think this should be plenty of plant to push these babies into nice big ones and i will now terminate the tops and prune off new growth. and yep, i am a freak and this tomato has a nickname. Timmer has named all his pumpkins after regulars at Bobby's Tap and a friend of ours said, "What, no pumpkins named after me?" and i said, "There are no more pumpkins left to be named, but i do have a fat round tomato growing that sort of resembles you." my friend's nickname is Chunk, so i said,
"My biggest fattest round tomato i have going will now be called "Chunk". he smiled and everyone at the bar had a good laugh. so this is a picture of Chunk, my biggest nicest shaped tomato i have so far.
