This is my new personal best
1 Attachment(s)
Brought this one in yesterday. I had to cut it out of the plant. This is the biggest/heaviest tomato I have ever raised. The variety is Cheste which is a Spanish heirloom. Can't believe I got almost to 4 lbs. It is from a megabloom and has 4 sections grown together.

its huge but the scale reads less than 2#'s
|
You'll notice the scale is in KG's, which converted equal Ted's stat.
|
That is huge!
Congratulations on your biggest ever, it’s a beaut :) Karen |
Looking great! Congrats!

ahhh. yep. thanks. I don't have a metric scale anywhere in my house. |
Carolyn, I use that one because it was free, and because it would identify my pictures of my tomatoes almost like a trademark. I checked its accuracy with some calibrated weights and it is dead on thruout its 10 Kg range.
|
I was looking at it not computing it said kg on the front. I even saw the kg... it just din't sink in.
|
Wow! That's a hefty mater! :D8-)
|
Way to go Ted!
|
Had a feeling Cheste would do well in MuddyBucket-land.
Excellent work Ted! |

Excellent work Ted![/QUOTE] I absolutely LOVE Cheste, from Valencia in Spain, my seeds from Paco in Spain and Neil L also gets seeds from him as well and agrees. Gerardo, didn't I send you that one?Or maybe it was someone who got it from Neil's SSE Annual Yearbook Listing of it or an Older seed offer of mine? Carolyn, where the chipmunks are eating the small ripe fruits on the Bonnie Plants that are small fruited,which is most of them,like Tami_G F1 hybrid ,GULP, maybe it's for the best. But there is ONE Cherokee Purple plant, WOW, a new one for me,NOT.Next year no Bonnie stuff and back to normal as to a grow list.:yes: |
The huge thing weighs about 2.6 catties or jin.:lol:

That is a big tomato for not being pruned. NICE Ted.
|
Lovely! How was the taste / texture?
|
Thans, Mark. If you want some seed, I'll send you some in a few days. Just got them out of the fermentation phase and they are rather wet at the moment.
Narnian, the taste was smooth and full. This is the second year I've grown it - both years from the original seeds sent to me. I'd call the taste slightly sweet (in the background), and very satisfying. I'd give it 8.0/10. The flesh was firm but not hard at first, but softened quickly and it displayed almost no core. Very good on sandwiches of any kind. |
That's a beautiful tomato Ted. Congrats. It's even better that it tastes good too. I'm sure that it will be going on a few peoples Wish Lists for sure.
