Just that you grow it and photo on scales to see weight would be nice.
That's it..all just good fun and friendly competition.

Debs..I've sent you PM.. ;)

[Squash64]

I haven't got any seeds yet, I'll have to google too.

[davyw1]

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.

Couldn't resist buying. Have ordered Super Marmande £1.80 for 100 seeds from

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  ???

[saddad]

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.....
