biggest Brandywine Ever!!!!

markd42 · August 17, 2012

Ive had good results with the Sudduth Strain of Pink Brandywine for years. THis year, I have 18 plants that are very healthy, each with a decent (not huge) number of fruits. THey are just starting to ripen in my Westchester COUnty NY garden as I put the plants out a bit late this year. ANyway, we picked a bunch yesterday and I went to pick what I thought was two nice sized fruits; to my shock and amazement, it was one tomato! DOnt have a food scale but it must be pushing three pounds.....Here is a picture of my wife holding the prized fruit!!!

Your wife on the bathroom scale with and w/out the tomato. Now.

I would but our scale is broken. LOL. I have a friend who owns a deli and I will take it to him later today. I'm very curious as to how much it weighs.
