First tomato of the season to set fruit, beating out 500 other varieties...
MegaMarv (2.678 DT 2012)
March 25 - seed sown in 1-gallon pot
March 30 - seedling emerged
May 22 - transplanted into giant tomato bed
May 24 - megabloom (a tightly fused triple) opened and pollinated
June 01 - fruit set and beginning to grow
June 08 - this picture taken
Now growing well, but nothing too impressive yet. It has already been so hot that no other megablooms have taken - in fact not a single other blossom has set fruit, despite many efforts at manual pollination. Good news is that so far it has not been as hot as last year. Soon I will put shade cloth over the entire bed.
