Boy, it's a good thing I coined my place as the Bucket Farm.

Good looking fruit as always. I think your picture of TYW may be the largest I've seen (in pictures). Haven't grown it, yet.

Crazy, this discription from Grunt-n-Grungy from whom I got the seed from is pretty accurate. Ami

Vigorous and productive, 6 ft plants. Good real tomato taste, sweet, unique watermelon aftertaste few splits, no catfacing. A beautiful bicolour, now a must grow here. 28 lbs/plant

CTed, I still have TYW's on the plant half again bigger than those shown. Ami

Heres 2 pictures of one of the Rhoades Heirlooms pictured above cut in half and the other picture is a Rhoades I picked today just starting to blush. The longer they remain on the vine (during ripening) the more red they will become as the ones above became which are a little on the over ripe side.The last one weighs in at 425 grams which is typical of this variety but you do get larger ones as well. It grows well in containers and really puts out the fruit. Ami

ami,

I just wanted to tell you that I have looked at all of your plants and tomatoes this year and would like to say, "what a fine job you have done".

Just marvelous.
