How do your tomatoes grow?

[digitS']

Some of the plants are covered with really big fruit, green. I have been picking a couple of ripe beefsteaks every week. I'll have to post a picture of a big Goliath, still green.

Okay Cat'!

There are some big Goliath but it turns out that the Big Beef plant right up against some sunflowers is the one with the largest tomatoes.

They are usually a fairly consistent 8oz but some of these may the biggest Big Beefs I've ever had.

shoulda set the knife in another location but the rock, the rock is really heavy and deserves attention

I think that the location of this plant with its big fruit indicates how wind protection would really help in the big veggie garden.

That's a very nice rock you got there Steve.

Today's haul:

(Bread tray, I found 6 of them at the recycle center! )

Delicious, an OP beefsteak I've been saving for a few years. *Almost* made it to 2 lbs. 4 more on the vine nearly as big.

Mr. Stripey, another big boy...

Golden Jubilee. If you get heartburn from acidic foods, this is the tomato for you, sweet and a little lemony.

Pink Berkeley Tie Dye. This is one pretty tomato and tastes as good as it looks.

Mine are small and taking forever to ripen. I have been picking mine early and they are ripening in the house. It depends on if I am busy and if busy I leave them out.

The biggest in my picture are only about 11 or 12 ounces. Probably the cool overnight temperatures keep them from more growth ... so they will never catch up with that rock!

Anyway, that is my story ...

Along with, the cold temperatures during flowering causing catfacing and hot temperatures during fruit development causing yellow shoulders ... moving away from those problems now. Thankfully!

like the Pink Berkeley Tie Dye @journey11 where did you get the seeds from?

I got mine from wintersown.org, but they don't give out free seeds anymore. I'm saving seed off of them and I'll send you some if you want.

I grew a Red Zebra that looks just like that TieDye.
Big plant in a container, but produced well.

I have some Pruden's Purple that are starting to ripen and they have some size. I will weigh them when I pick them.
