Ashleigh 1lb. 6oz.

ajax · March 24, 2006

Here is my lovely Ashleigh from last year. This is the largest tomato I have ever grown, and I did not "try" to grow it large (i.e., no pruning, removing fruit, etc.) The taste was magnificent! I just stood there in my kitchen, revelling in the ecstasty. It was so rich, so deep, so sweet and so tart---all at once. I can almost taste it now.....
BTW, the knife next to the pics is a FULL-SIZE bread knife!

First, a side view (same as my avatar)...

Now from the top...

And cut open!! I couldn't even wait long enough to snap the picture before taking a bite! Just look at how meaty! Such tiny seed cavities!

Thanks so much to Neil Gilliard for sharing this wonderful tomato with me!!
I hope I've made you drool a bit---I know I am! Come on, Summer!
