The XL ribbon I had before actually rotted and only partly pollinated. It was all connected though, and its cool that I was close to growing an 11 lb tomato? (The part in orange was an extra 3 lbs or so that didnt pollinate. I know its hard to see all of the potential that it had.) But really I dont think the soil in that spot would have been good enough. Which brings me to the painfully obvious question: why plant anything in the first place, if the soil isnt good enough.
I guess its like how runners dont give 110% until the actual race. You run a lot of laps at 70% effort first before you give it 110%. Maybe thats stupid but thats how I think of it.
Anyhow there are some flowers on this plant (the one circled in red is the last one on this massive truss) so I might try to grow a controlled pollination single off of it. Honestly, I'd be really thrilled to have some seeds with good potential for next year.
