More notes. Barn 1109 Jutras x Cantrell pollinated with the middle 527 Clayton. 1912 x 1109, in with the gourds, also pollinated with the middle 527.

I tried one last tomato pollination today but I couldnt get any good pollen. Thats it for the competition tomatoes... whats set is set.
There's not enough good weather or blossoms coming up to make any more effort worthwhile.
The last two rounds of tomatoes were too late to do much good. The first two rounds were fine as far as first truss megas (the 30 I planted out from the 4" pots at the beginning of July)... these did ok. The best ones were planted in June, though. I have only one truly full size plant right now, and that was the one planted way back in March. Ironically, it has some nice tomatoes on it but it never threw a ribbon or super mega of any sort. The good megas are all on side vines on medium to large plants but I mean large like a 20 oz drink is called "large." They're average sized and not truly large.
