 Biggest tomatoes I've ever grown were nowhere near in size; one an Aker's West Virginia (23.3 oz) and one a Pruden's Purple (22.3 oz). I tend to only track numbers produced but if something outstanding (for my garden) comes along, I will weigh. |

I grew one well over 2 pounds last year and usually have a few around that big every other year or so but can't imagine what it would take to grow something like the monsters shown in this thread. Congrats.

Now that my plants are starting to set a fair number of tomatoes I am trying to find all the fused blooms and pull them off so I don't have to deal with those messy tomatoes. We don't like dealing with those fruits with all the fissures and sections so it is easiest to just remove them when they are small. I will always miss a few and get some of those ugly fruits with uneven ripening but those will go to sauce every time.
