New Kid on the Block

Today Tim told me he had a tomato to weigh. I chuckled, figuring he had a golf ball sized ripe tomato. Sure, why not? Take the top rung for a while because nobody else has anything close to ripe.

Not the case at all. This is a bona fide monster. It would have been good enough for a podium finish each of the last 2 years. Well done! It's definitely one of the gnarlier tomatoes we've seen on the scale. The variety is Berkeley Tie Dye, which Tim says is a mighty fine eating tomato as well.

    Come at me bro's.

    The tomato was tasty for sure, but not simple to slice and dice. Anyone have any Big Zac fruit on the vine?

      I do have some Big Zac greenies the size of jelly beans, but they're regular blooms. They're going to get snipped as soon as one of the megablooms starts growing. If it takes ~50 days for a tomato to ripen, then it'll be around Labor Day before I have a Big Zac ready for the scale.
