Our weather is now warm in days and cool at night and I noticed a bunch of blossoms with 2 more setting fruit. Weather is now a tomato dream.
The other plant was in an Earthbox and didn't get enough sun; roommate is a Momotaro that is doing great with dozens of large tomatoes. I tried transplanting the Metalica to no avail.
So I will be getting fruit from just the one; will take a picture and post in the Metalica thread when it is ready. Thank you.

Fantastic.! Metallica is so gorgeous. So glad you grew it.
I picked one nice beauty early when the silver/gold metallic was formed and blushing
nervous about some critter bites...second flush were also great when the weather
got out of the high temps in August. Really nice shelf life. Curious if your stems are
as thick as mine. The stem end was so thick I needed pruning Felco's to cut it off
the plant.
