Cheyenne posing with our first ripe tomato this year. This one weighed in at 3.80 pounds and was grown from a 3.84 Hooper 2014 seed. We picked four smaller ones too that weighed over 3 pounds. There are larger ones on the plants. Hopefully they will hold off on ripening for a little while longer.

This one of 5.75 Porkchop Domingo plants. The Domingos have been outgrowing the Big Zacs. I wish we would have pruned this plant heavier.

Cheyenne holding her new personal best tomato. 4.20 pounds. The ones on the ground are all over 3.5 pounds. The 4.20 is a Domingo from a 5.75 Porkchop seed. Many thanks to Porkchop for the seed.

This pic was taken a few weeks ago. There are 13 tomatoes over 3 pounds harvested at the same time. Cheyenne and I have had 26 tomatoes over 3 pounds this year with 1 over 4 pounds. All 18 of our giant plants are dying of blight now, but it has been a good run. The pumpkins, squash, long gourds, watermelons, and sunflowers are still growing but fungus is starting to take its toll.
