Are there any rules??Just that you grow it and photo on scales to see weight would be nice.

I would like to make a suggest a rule.

When your tomato's are ready to display they must have the stalk displayed cut off above the knuckle.
When you wake up on a morning say "good morning world" and be grateful

And this is because ? ......  perhaps I am missing the point here, but I cannot think why, if anything the extra weight of the stalk is cheating  ???

To show you have grown it... bought tomatoes don't come with stem... except "vine" ones which wouldn't count... also stops the computer savvy posting someone else's "shopped" photo

Or you could just take a photo of it on the vine and then on the scales if you are worried about folk cheating....perhaps I'm naive enough to think people who post on here just would be honest? See, I still like to think the best until proven otherwise.....
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴
