Ty-Nee* still going strong but not big. PM kept in check this year with mostly Potassium Bicarbonate and Neem Oil. Have all my players in the stadium now. Cytokine, Kelps, Plankton, HA and Growth Hormones. Yup I’m giving it the moron treatment. Pushing with GA, IBA & NAA for awhile now. Soon will go out and spray a third and final application NAA.

Update on the maters. All get mostly same treatment as Ty-Nee.* Biggest maters are now 25” on the 5.3 & 7.88 Butler. Fingers crossed they don’t start to flash. Every Fruit has ripened to date despite several Cytokine applications. Reached far back into the cupboard and applied NAA. But Heat and humidity play a larger role in ripening. Biggest was 4.02 pounds off my very old 2.12 seed from Frank Catapano’s old line up. Things are still growing but slowly. So it’s great in measuring a 1/2 inch gain on a prospective tomato winner .
