Kerry Gross Materdoc's diary... looks like a big single almost 5 lb... I was hoping for six pounds but it seems unlikely.

I would be in that club. I only have had 1 mega take which was my 2.22. 3 seperate tomatoes. I have 1 forming on a ribbon vine, but the 8 other plants only have singles so far.

I meant 3 fused. Looked like Mickey mouse with large center tomato and the other 2 being smaller like the ears.

I have 2 nice megablooms in flower now ! One one my 5.95 looks to have taken and the other one on my megadom needs a few more days i think

Since there isn't any proof otherwise, sadly, Porkchop is in that club.

Fingers crossed, at long last I’ve seen a proper looking mega - excitingly on the 9.65. Not pollinated yet, so I’ll have to be for the Oct weigh off. I hope I get enough days to bring it full term - our last is 10 Oct.

In all fairness its not that its not that I had no chances at all, I just botched the couple big blossoms I got and now I dont have any. 6.55??? Frank the Tank put out a couple nice ones before settling in to ho-hum blossoms.

Same here,although I think the weather has been responsible.
Have seen several,but no luck pollinating anything.
The storm last week robbed me of two plants,so I’m really in the hole now.

I have had three nice large blossoms, dunno what classifies a mega, but they were over an inch an da half across while blooming. Ones a large single, ones a double and the last one is still small enough I can't tell. It looks like 4 or maybe five blossoms. Hope you can all get something to the scales!

I hope they all got fertilized for you. There barely is enough time to grow them out but good luck.

I regretfully have to leave the I have no Meg Blooms Club. This truss of megabloom blossoms have given me given me back the EYE of the Tiger for caring for my tomato plants

I’m growing...can’t say I’m blown away yet but it does take a bit to blow my feathers off....it’s the season, I’ve seen ALOT of big tomato’s out there.. I think framac is cheating this year...

I have a double going that I am happy with. Our heatwave is over, and conditions are favorable now. But mid August is probably my flowering cutoff... and I dont have much else. Its not too late for Jack LaRue to give me some transplants, is it lol???
