Default fruit is developing well

So far so good.



Some BER here and there--one variety in particular showed its stripes--, has forced me to be more disciplined at weighing powders out.



As if by magic, BER is no longer an issue.


Hit them with Neem/Karanja/Exalt yesterday, after nearly a month of rest from all insecticides.


Some minor EB on lower leaves of most determinates and a few indeterminates, I'm gonna call this normal growth.


They've received weekly foliar Neptune's Fish Emulsion + SeaGreen + MadFarmer Cal-Mag, so practically all are happy.


No new deaths to TSWV or other causes.


Superhots are coming along well in two lots. The first one is being grown in smaller volumes (NC-3s) and dry, the ones in these pics have larger volumes (5+ gal) and receive generous doses of the tomato baby formula. I've tried a few from the first lot and they're hot, really hot.


Granadero F1 is setting lots of fruit, BHN-1021 too. The heart is Zaragozano de Utebo.


Dropped seeds for Mountain Magic and Green Tiger, freshly arrived from Johnny's. Each variety will have a 10 gal box with 3 plants sharing the real estate. Should be plenty to keep me in salad heaven.



In the next week or two these will be germinating as well:


Bear Creek
Black From Tula
Crnkovic Yugoslavian
Daniel Burson
Dora
Faworyt
Gary OSena
Indian Stripe
JD's Special CTex
Liz Birt
Malachite Box
Mikhalych
Nicky Crain
Russian 117
Stump of the World
Tennessee Suited (fingers crossed!)
Terhune

Should be ready by Thanksgiving.
