It has been a terribly hot and dry tomato season. And the Humph was picked late as I kept waiting for it to turn red. (I had gotten it into my head that I hadn't planted any green when ripe tomatoes. Suze, the plate is a small salad plate. And those slices are from 2 tomatoes.)
It was a very disappointing year. Nothing grew very large... NAR, Wes, Cuostralee... they were all about the size of the Eva Purple Ball or smaller!
This was a mix of traded and commercial seeds, some in grow bags, some in the raised beds, the results were the same small tomatoes.
Caspian Pink was the only really large tomato and I only got a couple of those. From the huge Ashleigh plant, I didn't get a single fruit to try as the squirrels got all of those!
I said I'd grow the Humph again, but what I didn't say was that I'll be growing most of what I grew this year again in hopes for a better year!
Hope everyone else had a better mater season than me!
