I'm trying to figure out how to grow a pb tomato. But I'm stuck on a few concerns. There's so much I dont know. The main concern is that the plant does not abort the 1st truss blossom. I think if there are any nutrient issues that affect the pollen or fertility, or any calcium issues prior to and after pollination, then it's not likely to be a success. I'm so used to gardening in a non caring way. Cutting corners is my thing and I dont see where I can cut any corners. I guess I'll just not cut any corners. Even then, things may not go the way I want.
Starting a few tomato plants today. I might start a couple plants every week for the rest of the summer just to notch in a good pollination at some point. It makes sense that if I spam the garden with tomato starts all year long then somewhere in the heap of failure (mental prep.) something will be special.
The mental prep is important. It's like hunting for a diamond. If all I enjoy is the final success, then it would only be by luck that I would be successful. Yet if I enjoy the process of sifting through boring gray rock, then it's more likely that I will be successful. Then success is more inevitability. Its not all just luck.
My mental prep is to realize I do need more than just luck.
And now after some sober mental preparation... it's time to sow some seeds.
