Fasciated asparagus.

Catfaced vs fasciated... Looking back at an old thread, it says catfacing of tomatoes is maximized at 18C/8C so 64.4/46.4 farenheit. I am not jumping into the assumption that a more cat faced tomato is going to be a bigger tomato. I have seen many heavily catfaced yet smaller tomatoes at the weigh offs. My guess would be that temps nearer to 70 would give a better size result even if the tomato was less catfaced. On the other hand, a more fasciated (different than catfaced) tomato could become a bigger tomato.

I may not be able to figure this fasciated thing out. I may have to rely on luck more than brains, to be honest.
