This is my largest tomato of the season. I know it wouldn't be 'large' in most of your gardens, but to me it's huge! (13-3/8 oz)

That's a beaut Sherry. Mine were about the same size.

It was very tasty. This is my first year with Paul R, and it has found its way into my heart and stomach! I'll definitely grow this one again next year.

Thanks all.

Great looking PR, Sherry. It is normally one of my favorites, but didn't seem to care for all the rain we got here this year; it really diluted the flavor.

Thanks, Suze. Amazingly, this one was in the driveway in a pot. The plant in the greenhouse produced more, but smaller, fruit. We had about a week of rain earlier this month and I made every effort to protect it. I covered the soil with plastic in the pot and went out periodically to drain it away. Then I had to wrap the whole plant in row cover to keep the birds from pecking it. Sheesh! The things we do for the love of a tomato!

This was the best tasting tomato I grew this year.

Have the seeds fermenting as we speak.
