Howdy friends....long time no post

Been very busy with everyday life and keeping up with the garden and everything else I do. I've lurked occasionally but haven't posted in a while. Hope all is well with everyone. I picked these all today from the same plant. The plant is dying from disease, so I got these off before they got any worse. They should continue to ripen on the counter. The largest individual was 2 lbs 8.25 ounces. The largest truss had 3 maters combing for a total of 5 lbs 11.5 ounces. Another 3 mater truss came in at 5 lbs 5.5 ounces. That's 6 maters together weighing in at 11 pounds 1 ounce! Lehrer Tomate from my own carelessly saved seed.

The lot of them. There are still several on the plant, including a couple of big ones.

Only problem is, the LT's are ALWAYS my sickest. It seems to have no resistance to whatever blight/plague/pestilence gets after my maters. They seem to get sick first and fade fastest.
