Number one son with one of the beefsteak toms I picked at the allotment yesterday. This variety is a heritage and called Omar Lebanese and it weighed in at 1Ib 8oz. _________________ Check out my blog http://allotmentnews.blogspot.com/ Here's where I post my photos http://photoart.myfreeforum.org/index.php

Good grief and here was me thinking that mytomatoes were big this year!!!! Was your whole crop as big as that EJ? Just Had a thought your tomato weighed more than Ian did when he was born. His mother told me he was only 1lb 4ozs. _________________ Last edited by eileen on Sat Aug 26, 2006 7:05 pm; edited 1 time in total

That is a big tomato! Ours didn't get very big this year and they were "watery". That one looks tasty.
