Picked up a Super Mama tomato plant at the plant sale in May, despite my plan never to grow tomatoes again. To be fair, the plant has done OK with minimal effort. No sign of BER.

Last night on the plot for Moby. Harvest time tomorrow. Will get a proper chance to weigh him. On inspection, second photo here (swipe >>>) shows a missed opportunity to fill out on the left, could have been 200lbs× if that had happened. Is what it is though, still a big boy #giantveg #giantmarrows

Moby Dick has stopped making significant gains, mainly a couple of fresh green areas bulking up beneath and inside the existing measurements of 212" OTT. It should weigh 160lb. 52 DAP. Wrapping him up in bed again for tonight's 8C low. Harvesting early next week. #allotmentlife #giantmarrow #giantveg #ukallotments

Big squash feed. The nice thing is I didn't really need to buy much this year. Just added a bottle of @enviiuk Maximato to the mix of existing bottles from last year's big pumpkin and a big load of plagron bat poo. #giantmarrows #giantveg

Laying in bed last night, I was thinking about ways to move Moby out of the plot. With a much heavier pumpkin, we'd ask @daniel_brown_horseman to bring his horse and sledge, but that would very much be overkill for a marrow. Then I remembered the two man sledge we have! Perfect fit. Will add a duvet base for padding. Maybe tomorrow.
Day 49 today, taping 16967cm or 145lbs/150lbs
