My KP is just about to set the first fruit... the flowers are lovely, and the intense color is a welcome sight in a greenhouse full of blacks.

Hello Marsha! thank you very much for your advice, yes, to remove leaves I usually do to aerate the plants, also this year I will leave only one main branch in all my tomato plants and so I have more space to plant more plants, every year I left Three main branches, but this year I decided to do it with only one.
Now it only remains to fight with the red spider that is about to arrive ....
Thank you!
Nico

I am pulling anything with even the slightest color change this week, to try to be ahead of the splitting from so much rain.
I think you are brave to see if they survive. I'm definitely watching with interest.

Torrential rain again this AM after a week of it. I just went out during a rain break and found that little baby has set fruit.

So interested to see how it’s faring under such adverse conditions!

Just thought you'd like to know, my KP is now flowering both the first and the second cluster simultaneously.

So it was not at all skipped, just postponed.

Bravo, Ladies! The taste of KARMA Pink is fantastic! Thanks for all the hard work in making a great tomato. I give it my highest endorsement. It had a sweet, full-bodied taste that stuck around in my mouth a few minutes. For my particular tastes, that's the key to my favorite tomatoes.....does the taste linger? YUM!

Here's what 40 minutes of pea size hail did to my Karma Pink, not to mention all my other plants at this location.

KarenO · May 22, 2018

Awe No! That is awful Charley

Let them dry, assess the damage and remove the really broken bits then give them a good medicinal dose of balanced miracle grow soluble. They will be the worse for wear and look a little like some psycho pruned them with a weed whacker but I bet they recover.
I’m so sorry, I would be very upset.

Oh my goodness, first taste reports now coming in. I am just thrilled that you like it as much as I, I was hoping I wasn't just liking it so much due to prejudice, lol

to me they are darn near perfection.

That's terrible news but I too bet they will recover. At least your fruit is still there.
