The Big Beefsteak

[3 Pound Tomato]

Here is the 1st big tomato of the season. It's been so dry, I'm surprised it did this well.

Probably a couple of pounds. I ate it before I thought about weighing it! lol

neighbor gave me a 1lb 9oz Beef Master(not his biggest)
It is a big one, and tops the chart in flavor

It was good and juicy. I saved the seeds for next year.

I bet it tastes as good as it looks.

Have you ever noticed during the dry season vegatables and fruit all have a much better flavor. During the wet season fruit and vegatables are all watery with less flavor.

We had a month of very not dry weather 100 degrees with no rain but now that my tomatoes are getting ripe we have been having flash floods about every 6 days. My tomatoes are a little bit short on flavor.

LOL, I wouldn't even think of weighing it if any of my tomato plants would produce same size of that I would just be so proud of it.

I just know them as a Beefsteak. Those seeds have been our family for generations, and we plant them year after year. They get big and taste good. The only problem with them is a lot of them will grow gnarly. We have grown them even bigger. My Grandma used to grow some monsters!

Well I would love some Seeds if they are heirloom. In am trade as well.

Really pretty mater!

Last week, I harvested a heart-shaped Pink Brandywine that was upwards of 1 1/2 pounds. I proudly presented it at a family get-together this weekend, then handed it over to my parents for their enjoyment!
