Just started my competition tomato harvest and this is I'm guessing the smallest of the season. All of these this year are Domingo and all are from my 9.44 seed. I have 9 more to harvest on this first planting and then I have one more planting which will ripen in September.

Looks like you have a good start there to fill the sauce pot. It is the time of year that the large ones are mostly gone now and I never get any that large. It doesn't help that I usually remove the multiple fused bloomed tomatoes when they are really small as they tend to start rotting on the vine before they can ripen well down here when summer heat and humidity get really high. They are forecasting good chances of rain next week so maybe we will get some heat relief.
Congrats, Bill |

BiscuitRidge got fruit!
I like big 'maters and I cannot lie you other gardeners can't deny that when a tomato starts to flush on that itty bitty vine that round thing looks so divine (doot doot dooby doo insert more funny lyrics) That mater you got makes me so hungry |

@u/paradajky
for some reason I wasn't expecting that coming from tomatoville, which made it all the more funny |

Good luck winning again.
Any pictures with them on the vine? Is there just one tomato per vine? Do you eat the tomato? What do you use to fertilize the plant? I almost reached 2 lbs this year - 31.75 oz, lots of 24 oz, and some 27 oz. None were fused though. |

That’s just unbelievable, especially to have multiples in that weight class! Congrats.
