Well Donna, I've already pulled a 4.14 LB tomato from my lineup thus far with another one growing that I believe could be my next personal best. It has to beat 4.46 LBS.
I only grow for competition weights. It's interesting to see that a contest is next door to me. We here in the regional area are sorely lacking in such a contest/weighoff. I have my heavyweights certified by the state weights and measures division then I enter it in an official ranking contest that is worldwide. Thanks or the information on the contest.
