Elmers Old German
2 pounds each. These are typical, the vine is loaded with fruits of this size.

Nice looking large tomatoes. How big is the vine and how many tomatoes are you getting per vine. I think another tomato is going on my want to grow next year list.

The vines are over 6 ft feet tall, however most of my plants are over 6 feet. I think it is due to the record heavy rains we had in early spring. I would guesstimate that I'm getting about 15-18 per plant

Impressive, you are talking 30-35 pounds per plant. I assume it hasn't been the best tomato growing year for you as it hasn't been for others. It's definitely on my grow list next year.

I grew them 3 years ago but at the time had critter problems. Squirrels and raccoons got most of them. I think harvested 2 tomatoes for my efforts.
I've since moved and (knock on wood) haven't had those problems in the new place yet. I might give Elmer's Old German another try next year. Irv |
