Tomato Growing Competition 2012

Oh bother Scrunge.

Both of mine have split & gone moldy.

 

I went to spray my big tom plants but found them so ravaged by blight over the last couple of days that I decided to pull them all up as I didn't want it spreading to my 200'ish outdoor toms (which I will spray) just for the sake of a bit more weight on a few tomatoes.

As there's already been one of 12 ozs posted I'll start at 12 5/8 ozs (seed from a 3lb + tom of unknown variety/standard bloom) 12.5" girth:


Next biggest 13 ozs (Mortgage Lifter/megabloom) 13.75" girth:



Next biggest 14 1/8 ozs (Mortgage Lifter/megabloom) 13.5" girth:



Biggest 14 3/8 ozs (Phil's Fantastic/megabloom) 14.25" girth:




Looks like fried green tomatoes for breakfast over the next week.

 

Oh no Scrungee.......

 

Wait for it wait for it....humour me please

 

WHAT ABOUT LOLLIMAC'S BIG RED RIPE BOUNCY TOMATOES?

 

....I'm humoured....

 

Can't forget things like that, keeps me awake at night

 

All together now:
why are we waiting?
why are we waiting?

Oh bother, my largest has started ripening, I will let it ripen because I want to save seed from it, still think it will weigh in at well over 1lb though.

Quite impressed with my Delicious, getting some nice sized fruits but hard to believe a record holder, taste good but not Delicious!

Big Boy is my choice this year (as last), I will try big zak next year with a view to crossing with big boy

Watch this space?

 

My big lass...(beef master) is only just turning a slight blush colour...going to measure her tomorrow....dunt take much to excite me

 

I'm doing my best to remain calm Loli, but this mounting tension....
