My wife took this photo of me bidding on the tomato Lots in the auction. Sorry, but the Wisconsin auction had some of the best lots of the year, blame them. :) ummmm can I have the password to the PayPal account?. What??...oh....Yes I promise I'll take you to Hobby lobby, Jo Anns, and the thrift stores tomorrow.   Sunday, March 2 View Page The winter grow tomato is blooming. The flower in front of the megabloom (bottom) is full open and ready to be pollinated. The mega is just starting to open (top)   Sunday, March 2 View Page Let's get some pollen hopefully it's producing.   Sunday, March 2 View Page Ooohhhh nice.   Sunday, March 2 View Page Too bad the mega is not more open. Let's paint.   Sunday, March 2 View Page Dab dab dab.   Monday, March 3 View Page Another flower opened up. Let's see how much pollen this one has. The mega has opened enough maybe I can start pollinating it.   Monday, March 3 View Page Boom....   Monday, March 3 View Page Holy crap ....what the.....this one might not pollinate.   Friday, March 7 View Page Just.....wow.....what a frickin mess of a flower. Will this pollinate? Where do I stick the pollen? I'll just rub it all over and hope something sticks.   Friday, March 7 View Page The very first flower pollinated. See the newborn tomato under the flower leaves.   Friday, March 7 View Page I also did 4 clones for science. The sizes are by truss. The first truss sucker is the biggest clone. I don't usually try to grow them if they are this big or I cut them back but it looks like it might survive. The next biggest is second truss third is third and the smallest is the fourth truss sucker. It was very tiny with only maybe 3/4 of an inch of stem.   Sunday, March 9 View Page Well would you look at that. It pollinated. Huzza!   Tuesday, March 11 View Page Megabloom on top single on bottom. The mega is in two parts and if it's not fused I'm going to cut it and keep the single.   Wednesday, March 12 View Page There are two more megas but they are too late to the party. Winter grow competition is over April first.   Wednesday, March 12 View Page The other mega. Even the mega that I did get pollinated will only have 25 days on it when the competition ends. I'll have to make sure to start sooner next time or put some artificial light on them.   Thursday, March 13 View Page Ignore the crazed after work look. I'm not THAT crazy. I do need a shave tho. Anywho.... thanks to Porkchop and Dan (Saswampo) and anyone else who helped with the Zeke tomato challenge. I love my trophy for second place draft. It was great fun.
