Absolutely astounding production success. It's incredible how many tomatoes you're getting from all of these varieties, especially ones only 3ft tall! You've certainly come up with a seriously optimal growing technique. And to think this is taking place in Alaska where the outdoor growing season is so short. Congrats!

I almost hacked this THING/ Mrs Mawell's Big Italian down awhile back, now she is stunning above all others to look at, and may be the best tasting tomato in the house. The few samples I got before the recent setting of tomatoes is all that saved the plant, a strong tomato Brandywine Sudduth's comes to mind when I taste them.

Both have done well, the Chocolate Stripes cracked some, before I corrected my watering from panic during the heat spell we had, Blk Krim has yielded well for me. A pic of them growing over the aisle. A pic of Bloody Butcher, a yummy little tomato.

My Caspians are getting back to their beautiful selves, I love the taste, they are huge on average, yield awesome, ugly foilage though.

These little plants are yielding well for me too, and are more like eating fruit than tomato, very yummy tennis ball size fruit .

Both yield on par with Early Girl and the tomatoes are the same size too. When they are ripe they are almost too sweet, Blk Prince is sweeter of the two. I had to learn to water these right, they crack when over watered, and the BLK Pear is a water sucking beast. I did not prune Blk Pear, it shoots flowers off of suckers right away, needless to say, they yield really well and are pretty when ripe. I grew this Blk Prince in a loop

Something strange here, never seen this before, this tumor looking thing is growing off of several of the tomatoes.

It's out of control, went in with the scissors and removed alot of matter. The tomatoes are looking like star clusters, my PP is approaching a hundred tomatoes, standard ones, so I broke out the rope to secure it in several places. I am waiting a week or so to take a pic.

I think these are pretty, taste good too. Another one I corrected watering for, and the new fruit looks great.
