Default Yes I really grew this!

This is a photo of my "not Van Wert Ohio" with a little helper who insisted in sitting in her lemonade stand to shoot the photo. I think I know what it is, but I'll regrow it next year with the other seeds I have to be certain.

A huge monster at 3 lbs. 9 oz (and I wasn't trying to get a big one it just sort of took off on its own).

I have no idea why this image looks fine on my computer but is downloading sideways, sorry!

Wow, what a whopper! I've had some big ones, but not that big!

That is an absolute monster! I don't think I've ever had one in that range at all.

You can say that again! Just showed the picture to my husband whose reaction, when i told him its weight, was, "Holy f***!"

So, are you going to tell us what you think it is, or are you going to keep us in suspense for the next twelve months?! ;-)

Great shot! Could be in a seed catalog -- if only you knew what "not" was!

Antoniette, what are feeding your tomatoes!
A few of those would make a complete season's harvest. Great job!
