    I've not been trying to grow monster tomatoes this year but have already had an 11.8oz tomato and looks like an even bigger one on the way!

    Hope this form continues next year when I AM going to try and grow a "monster"!

    Tasted lovely too.

    Not sure of the variety, probably "Big Boy", the girls thought it would be "fun" to swap all my labels about when they were seedlings, I now have some "greenhouse" varieties suffering outdoors as a result, NOT amused!

      My 'claim to fame' in the tomato growing challenge is that yesterday I picked a fully ripe tomato which, when put on the digital scales, was so small it didn't even register a weight! :heehee:
