      Ooops, forgot to get some piccies, hopefully rectified this weekend!

      Big Boy and Big Zak way out in the lead with my outside Big Boy doing much better than the greenhouse one (all sown and potted on at the same time)?

      Early Goliath's coming on well with lovely "smooth" skinned fruits, Better Boy doing ok as are Delicious although the latter not doing as well as last year? :huh:

        A few piccies, excuse the quality, lack of sleep has effected my focusing and I can only use my camera in manual focus mode!

        Non specific shots at the mo, I'll differentiate as they develop further.

            OK guys,
            I would like to introduce you to Angelinas girt big Bulgarian. I registered my interest in this competition on March 17th -#12 and she has been hiding her light under a bushel for some while now.
            But we had a team briefing this morning and she has agreed to show you her wares.
            I know, early days and there's many a slip and all that but I've told her she's in for special treats from now on:

            and to be on the safe side, she wearing an all in one now.

              Neck and neck with the Big Boy vs Big Zak, not a lot to choose between them BUT another contender has entered the fray..... Delicious! failed miserably last year but coming on strong this year, holds the world record so who knows?

              I know I'm not in the competition but would like to put down a benchmark :loll:

                Hi Jenny, I'm trying to beat MY personal best of 3/4 pound weight, I won last years comp with a similar weight fruit, now hoping you lot can beat it because I haven't the time now to concentrate on my toms but still hope to post a result for you all to beat (benchmark) :hapydancsmil:

                    Here is my tomato. It weighs 320g and measures just over 10cm across.

                    Haven't had a chance to look at other posts yet so this may not qualify.

                    Sorry photo is upside down - not sure why........
