Ok this is probably my large for the year. Excessive heat was a serious issue. Over 18 days of 100-115 degree weather really hardens up the skins. I used shade cloth and cardboard to shelter my little friends but it didn't help much. I have a few singles still on the vine but I think it is time to start some broccoli. Will do the same prep as last year. 3 yrds of alpaca manure in my 20x20 community plot. I did save some seeds from my two largest tomatoes this year. You can see pictures of both and their lineage on the Zekes tomato challenge diary. PM me if you are interested in a few. It is amazing how few seeds you get out of one of these large tomatoes.
