I recognize the support method... we call it the 'holy crap more tomatoes!' style, (or perhaps that should be, 'whoops gosh darnoodly!)

If you go to the trade Forum you'll see that I just updated the thread I started to say that I need gall bladder surgery somewhat ASAP. The details are in the trade Forum. Yes, I'm still home, feeling OK right now but when my MD called me early this AM to give me the results of tests that were done yesterday she said ASAP and then said if any symptoms appear call 911 right away. So I've spent today trying to contact the folks that will keep my home and old cat safely. This all started about Jan 1 which is why you haven't seen me posting much. Carolyn

After 9 years of Tomatoville pics, finally one that I totally relate to.
That's my normal support structure, with the exception of 2014, when the one time, half-###ed, Florida weave didn't hold up. |

Very impressive yield. And looks like he's got "netting" as his support system from the stake. That has got to be a seriously sturdy stake, though with that kind of weight on it.
Is it a early/late variety. And it may be just me not being able to stell with the stalk bent over so much, but is in determinate or indeterminate?

Merci bien Charline!
Although some of the fruits in picture above seem a lot larger than 100-200g.

I agree....some of those look like 500g - 750g or more. Definitely not small. If you average out the 22kg over 38 fruits that is about 574g each....with some of them a lot larger and some smaller.
