2015 was another tough year. Nothing to a weighoff. Both split underneath due to a mistake I made at Day 10 on both fruit. I stacked up a couple pieces of wood underneath the fruit in order to raise them, however, it was a poor decision as both bottoms were concave before I removed the pieces of wood before Day 20. They never grew out of the shape and both bottoms were indented about 6-8" in the end. Both fruit that I grew last year were larger than any in the past, and I weighed both with a digital crane scale. This one was soft the day before the weighoff.
