So as I worked my way up and down my rows, I realized, too late, that I pinched off two of the 4 Chapman megablooms. That hurt. Live and learn I guess.
Still have two, so we will see how it goes.
My BZ does not have any unusually large buds at this point. Same thing happened last year. Maybe I need to get different BZ genetics...
Yes. I'll try again to go big, eventhough I already know that I'll probably fail. Last year my biggest tomato was just 600g (1pound 5 oz). For this seasons I had high expectations on at least 5 varieties: Maga Marv, Shuntuski Velikan, Slankard's, Donskoi and George Detsikas.

For MM and SV I had only 1 plant germinating out of 5 seeds I had of each variety. My 1 year old son accidentally stepped on the SV seedling while I had it on a tray in the balcony, so it didn't even make it to the garden.

So this is what I have left

1 Mega Marv (which by the way is growing very slowly...)
4 Donskoi
3 George Detsikas IT Red
2 Slankard's

My goal is to reach 2 pounds, but I could be happy if I beat my record from last year
