Sorry folks, can't you just tell I'.ve gone snap shot happy today!
Crikey, looks like a huge cooking apple. You'll only need one slice of that tomato to fill a whole sandwich. I've got a Marmande going that way at the moment (keeping fingers crossed I don't get blight).
OMG, it's huge - could solve Africa's food problems
Yellow Oxheart is my biggest.. got a one Kilo fruit once! Annanas/Pineapple is also huge!
;D
WOW! :o
Bragging again!
OK, Biscombe, you have chucked down the gauntlet!!!
I am off to the greenhouse with a camera, us Brits have to at least have a try against your Spanish weather!!!

Looks like a challenge to me, you go girl, Jeannine! ;D ;D
Got to do a bit for the UK here Biscombe !!!!
I quit!
mine tomatoes are huge too but only if you are 6 inches high ha ha ;D
no comment.
Ok you two, out you go!
Fab toms both, v envious. Newbies - love your pic btw.
Oh thats just not fair!!!
My biggest its the size of a marble!!
Chris, bear in mind these are all large growing toms anyway and because I grow some odd ones I have to start them very early with heat and lights, without that mine would be marbles too and I would never get some types to maturity here as they can take up to 120 days from main potting which is more than double that of say a Sungold or a Tumbler.

Are those babies hands ?
No they are mine, from a size 24 lady !!
Jeannine,
are those ones Brandywine? I had my first one yesterday. It was huge, and I expected it to be watery. What a surprise, very sweet and packed with flavour! No sign of the yellow ones ripening yet though.

No, that is a Tappys Heritage. There are some more shots in the Gallery with different ones and 1 of them is Brandywine.
You did very well to get one this soon,they are an excellent tom XX Jeannine
I would post a pic, but it is all gone. I had named her bertha, and had been lovingly watching her every day for that perfect ripeness.
Oooh, it was worth the wait. Off to look in the gallery now.

Oooh, just looked at them all. What a juicy bunch :P

Thanks Jeannine for that, i was beginning to think I would never be able to grow tomatoes here in Scotland.
Need to ask my neighbours, theirs seem much better than mine. Wonder what their secret is ;)
Chris go for the shorter season ones, if you want some help deciding varieties I can help you, also there are several that are a wee bit more cold tolerant. XX Jeannine
Ahhhhhhhhh 2 hands Jeannie!!!! But great for the UK!!!!
I'm here in the windy, cloudy, bright, cloudy, bright, stormy, bright UK at the mo for a music fest that starts tomorrow, the weather really doesn't know what to do!! I sympathise with you.......
::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D
I can tell ... "WE" are boasting again !!!! :D :D :D
And remember with those big ones a truss is not just a set of fruit-they might need some support ;)
