Default Biggest Tomato I've Ever Grown!


I took it to the post office for an official scale reading. It was 2lbs. 7 oz. Nowhere near world record, but gigantic to me!

Nice one. I just got one near two pounds so I know that is a monster.
Well, what kind is it?

I forgot to mention that didn't I! It is suppose to be Kosovo, but it is red. The rest of the plant has normal hearts on it, so it is a heart, but unfortunately it is the wrong color.

It looks like about six hearts all fused together. Save seeds, call it something with the word "Giant" included, make billions, and rule the world! (evil villain laugh) Sorry, it's late.

That would've been in the running for the most unusual or ugly award in about 10 days, Remy....lol. Wonder if its a cross along with the fused hearts? Curiouser and curiouser...

Mudman,
that is funny. It was a bunch of fused hearts like a conjoined monster.

Zana,
Hilde wanted me to keep it in the fridge until the party! but for biggest.

Ray,
I was proud of my ugly tomato mass.

Jeannine,
Awe, thanks ,
Remy

Nice looking tomato. I don't think any of my Kosovo will reach a pound. Try a Hoy for some big tomatoes. I think someone with better growing conditions than me (I have a maximum of 5 to 6 hours sunlight) should be able to grow something a lot bigger than my 2 pounder. I believe that because I have at least 6 more that should fall in the 1 to 2 lb category.

Remy, I had a very strange one too but it was a Gildo Pietroboni. It looked like some fruit from an alien world.
