These are 7 gallon pots. I use Promix BX, to which I mixed 1 cup dolomite lime( garden lime at HD- 50 lb bag about $6) and 1&1/2 cups Tomato Tone which I like far better than any other fertilizer I have ever used. I mix thoroughly, and that is all so far. I was given some homemade fish emulsion so I am probably going to get a Tablespoon of that to a gallon to supplement pretty soon. Maybe once per week I will add that. I think everything is growing taller there because its on the west side of the house, and the house shades it until afternoon, but they do get about 5.5-6 hrs full sun. They don't really look like they are strething to reach the light though, do they?

The size is progressing. The oldest formed fruit are small saladette sized. I am dying to know what color they will be. Hope that one ripens soon. First plant top showing lots of fruitset.

Next view first fruit getting larger, definitely the cross took as these are way larger than momma, Ambrosia Gold.

Second plant showing quite a few fruit.

View of oldest formed fruit also at small saladette size.
RIPEN, RIPEN, RIPEN!!!

Awesome project guys! I look forward to following the progress. They look a little bit like unripe Purple Bumblebees I've grown, except a bit larger.

Wow! Exciting stuff so far!

That's unbelievably early.

Gardeneer · November 26, 2015

That is Early. 66 days from seeds (at this stage, add another 15 day until ripe) that is like 50-55 DTM. I wonder how long will it take up north, in Canada .

Sow date was September 14th so Karen, you were close. Today is 71 days from sowing if I counted right. Still, yes, very early if it ripens soon. The big question is pink, or orange? Any prognosticators here? Heee!

KarenO · November 26, 2015

Or red or yellow lol. Yellow epidermis should dominate. Could be red....
Who knows
