2025 GVGO Growers/Members Post Results and Photos Here Please
Hi Folks, the weighoff season is upon us and our members are starting to make the news and email photos of their new personal bests, etc. Please help revive some traffic to our messageboard and post your photos and a brief comment or two about your accomplishments. Feel free to also post them on our GVGO Facebook group page as well but keep in mind, some of our members don't go on Facebook.
I'll start by posting a photo of by largest tomato so far this year. I hope to improve on this as I still have a possible new PB growing. This one was grown off my 5.05 Watson seed from a few years ago.

FYI, this tomato was kept in the fridge and taken to Port Elgin for an offical weight as an EXH only tomato. The official weight is 8.15 Watson DMG grown off my 5.59 Watson 2024 seed.
