I cant even imagine the crazy amount of work you must have in the spring Mark. It’s all I can manage to keep up with my little garden
Will be interested to see them later on K |

Things are moving alone nicely. The plants are about 8 feet now, I need to get all of the bottom trusses ripened so we can lower the plants, that is my biggest concern right now. We have ate several Mat-Su Express, a couple have been off the charts delicious. Fruit set is good, ferts are 1700ppm, pH 6.2-6.4 average. I tried to get a pic where you can see how the two plants per 5 gallon set in the containers.

Looks good. What is your ppm conversion factor? 0.7?

Report and pics
Plants are doing good. Ate a Bloody Butcher x Yellow Brandywine f1 today, it was good. Also had a PL Black Krim x PL Early Girl F 3 it was a bit off, strong, but it had an odd taste. Mat-Su today was delicious and complex. We are moving along getting ready to start putting tomatoes in other greenhouses now.

Here is a good pic of two plants in a five gallon container where we can see both and what they are capable of producing. The last one is BB X YBW

We have had some sun lately, now we are getting some real fruit setting. We are consistently watering twice per day now, the plants love it.
