Default My Beautiful Ugly Mortgage Lifter

Just picked this morning. Never seen anything quite like it. Not sure how many blossoms fused together to produce this one. And there's a hole clear through the center. LOL!

Outstanding! You've got a ML doughnut! It looks like 3 or 4 fused.

Default Mortgage Lifter Blues

Hailing from Zone 4 here. I love, just love Mortgage Lifter tomatoes. However, every year I resign myself to small weak ML plants just to get a few of those awesome jewels. All my other plants go gangbusters but the crown jewel of the garden just pokes along. How can I boost production to the levels I see others report?

Maybe try a different strain of mortgage lifter?
