Yeeeee Haaaa....your round Jenny

 

Yay, yay, yay Loli,
got me Bose on - listening...

 

oh ooh.... you know I get tomato nightmares Ziggy. Please don't present me with a packet of Megabloom tom. seeds,
Jenny

 

I will eventually get some pics! Every time I get my toms out on the table, the dogs try eating them!

They thought my one and only melon was a ball?

 

I now have 4 toms between 15 & 17" girth, all still growing slowly and no signs of ripening. Hope these warm evenings continue.

 

What variety Scrungee?

 

'Gert Big Buqqer'

 

Phil's Fantastic, Omar's Lebanese and an unknown variety where the seeds came from a 3lb plus tomato. EDIT: A Delicious has now broken the 15" girth barrier!

@Vince - you have harvested your tomatoes, but what are the weights?

 

When, oh when, shall I know who's gonna contest my Angelo then?

@Vince - you have harvested your tomatoes, but what are the weights?

Heaviest one so far is a "Big Boy" weighing in at 471g. My monster "Big Zak" is still ripening, full smith period alert yesterday so I might pick it early and not risk blight as it's growing outside.

 

An update on Angelo.
Here he is split open - lovely aroma, nice and juicy and plenty of seed pockets

Having removed his seeds, I chopped him up, gently not roughly and braised him off in a base of olive oil and butter, salt, pepper and a sprinkling of mild chilli flakes from Gocek, Turkey. Smells divine..

Plenty of fat seeds all ready to prepare. Enough for all,


Jenny
