Hey growers!

As a group, can we can grow 3 tomatoes over 10 lbs in 2025?

Its a puzzle of proper care, genetics, and luck, but I believe we can solve that puzzle and get Dan Sutherland level results next year (a tomato in the teens maybe?)

So set your goals high?

I believe in you guys & gals. In fact, I believe some of you might single handedly (mega handedly?) grow 3 tomatoes over 10 lbs as Dan has done.

Are you ready to give it a shot?

I'm a work in progress and 10+ seems highly unrealistic for me, but I'll certainly be shooting for the stars. I think it can been done though. Plenty of great growers out there.

I'll be on a 2nd season no-till patch, and have some good seeds for 2025, so hopefully I can break at least 8 pounds for a new pb!

You're gonna do great Cindy! ps I might be putting some real effort into your marrow seeds.

Dan, you're the king of tomatoes but I think we're gonna hit 13-15 lbs before you hit 18-20 lbs... but yeah go for it.

ps Dan I know the weigh offs are a long drive for you but I know you'd like to beat Cindy and the rest of us tomato-head-fools in person...

I thought 1 over 5 pounds was a good goal. 3 over 10?
