Default Tomato Flowers!!!!!!!!!

Lets see some of those tomato flowers you are excited about. Here is a nice pic of a big sun gold select with 48 forming and blooming flowers in one cluster. The second pic is just a random flower blooming in my garden.

Lovely. Does Sungold select generally produce that many flowers in one truss?

This is my first time growing big sun gold select but every truss on this plant has a ton of flowers on it.

I have buds on my Lithuanian Crested Pink, but no flowers just yet. My potatoes, otoh, are going nuts making flowers. I had no idea potato flowers had such a nice scent.

Bloom on one of my mystery maters. I think this plant is a large barred boar.

I can't wait to see how it turns out. I've grown tomatoes for years but this is the first time I've paid any attention to megablooms. This is the second one I've noticed so far.

It's not the how it looks on the outside, it's how yummy it is in the tummy on the inside!

I meandered around my garden today, and discovered that several of my tomatoes now had flowers.
I took pics of the Lithuanian crested pink, the Artisan bumblebee, and the Amish paste.
