Congrats, Barb. Looks like you're getting the process down to a science. But, I do have one question.

Was that 1.45 lb Boronia a megabloom?

Thanks for the info and photos! I have 10 7-gal Root Pouches in the green long-lasting fabric and am planning on putting out my dwarfs in those. I'll look into elevating them.

Could be, although the blossom end was totally smooth and seamless. Tomato grew in between 2 branches.

7 gallons will work great. Where did you find green root pouches? I've bought most from Greenhousemegastore and the grey ones from AMLeonards.

You might not need to elevate; I did initially so they wouldn't get over watered even in torrential rains, and in the backyard am assured that nematodes will not get into the potting mix, and finally there were a lot of snails (even moving over a 40' pool deck), I was going to make it harder for them.

I found the green ones on Amazon -- 10 of the 7-gals for $42. They're a nice light-ish garden green. When I went back to look for more, I did see the brown ones cheaper on GreenhouseMegastore -- same number/size for $33. I ordered the brown ones from GM in 3-gal and 5-gals, but I may get more of the green 7s for tomatoes. BTW, they do also have the grey ones at GM these days.

Nice tomatoes and pictures Barb. I also have tomato envy!

How did Boronia taste? That is a pretty tomato!

It was yummy! The back half of the tomato wasn't even sliced.

[Barb_FL]

Texture was good; taste was sweet, not sure how to cut Hearts, but I sliced it; reminded me of Lucid Gem.

Looking good there, Barb. The reason I asked earlier whether you sliced it was that the pictures I included in my seed offer showed the tomatoes cut from stem to blossom end. From the look of the tomatoes you have pictured, you should have some interesting coloring.
