First "possible entry" Giant Tomato Contest ! Pic

Not sure yet,, couple of others I am watching that are still green and growing. In case you want to know these are "Parks Whopper" tomatoes. This size is common and are excellent eating or canning tomatoes. Small core, few problems.

That's a whopper!!!!!

Barb in Pa.

 

I agree, it's a whopper!

 

Yummmm

 

Wow!!!

 

Wait till we see how big the others get. They look like softballs all laying in there. We ate that one for breakfast. It was good !

 

Wow!!!mart is fantastic :-D

 

Now that's what i call a MATER!!!

 

They produce this size consistantly. I have picked a dozen or more and put them on the scale,, but I have yet to hit a pound. Most of the big ones are 13 to 15 oz. Bummer ! I want a real Whopper! It can even be ugly as long as its big.

 

Here is my entry. 480grams or 16.9 oz. It is a Cherokee Purple heirloom. It is completely organic. A friend and I ate it and he said it was the best tomato he ever put in his mouth. It had started to crack from a large rain storm we had so I had to pick it before I wanted to. I wonder if it would have gotten larger?

Are you sure that's not a pumpkin?

 

Wow!

 

I like size in a tomato, and those tomatoes have size! Congratulations and good luck with hitting the pound mark.

 

Excellent Brad ! Hope you saved a few seeds from that one.

 

I actually put some seeds out to ferment tonight from another from this plant. I picked another one tonight that was over 10oz. Amazingly there is a cluster in each of the two plants I have with 3 toms that look to be bigger than this large one.
