Great job Jen!
Jarred has a point. You might want to get a fat rope to tie the stem to the yoke of your prop. Ideally, the prop should be placed below the apex of the arch of the stem. As the fruits fill out, the weight gets heavier, thus will force the plant to lean towards the prop. This will loosen the contact between the stem and the yoke, and cause the prop to breakaway from the plant. I say fat rope, 1/2" should be adequate, because a skinny rope will cut into the stem more easily.
One other thing, you sure take great pictures!
