I never know what my tomatoes might weigh as I don't ever remember to weight them even though I do have a scale. So I am very impressed by that nice weight and size. I am sure that the biggest tomatoes around here will be the BEEFMASTER as those are a nice big beefsteak type.

I have never tried any type of Oxheart tomatoes. Maybe I should!

Lookin' good, Paul! I can just hear ya slurpin' on that one!

Not near as big as yours, only weighing 1.25 pounds, but packed with flavor: Granny Cantrell



Shoe (enjoying "Tomato Sandwiches Everyday For Lunch" season)

I love tomato sandwiches also and have them everyday in tomato seasion. Never get tired of them. Nice looking tomato you have there.

I am really jealous of both you guys with those beautiful tomatoes! Mine are not ripe yet But soon..... I too will be eating tomato sandwiches until the last one is picked for the season

I seldom weight them, Rita, but thought if I took a pic I could also post it in the Database. Granny Cantrell has a special meaning to me as my first seeds came directly from her (Granny Cantrell) garden.

Hang in there, Patti. I planted my garden much later than I normally do so haven't been getting tomatoes but for the past couple weeks, a few here, a few there, etc. Your turn will come.

Although the tomato plants look ratty these ones in this Patio Grow Bag Sack Planter have been really putting out the tomatoes. I have two Fourth Of July and one Sugary in there. Sugary is a pink grape tomato and just wonderful.

lots of green beefmasters on the vine


viva italia all still green


But Whoppers and Early Girls getting red.


my first ever Cherokee Purple

Lookin good Shoe.
May have to try Granny next year.

I ate one of those two BEEFMASTER tomatoes I had picked on the 23rd for lunch today. Oh yummy, yummy, yummy. Made tomato sandwiches. I LOVE tomato sandwiches. They were soooo good. BEEFMASTER tomato is deffinately going to be planted again next year. I have tried a few beeefsteak types the past few years to find one that is outstanding and I have finially found it! Yumm, Yumm, Yumm.

I had my first Big Beef tomato sandwich today. Coarse Brown Toast.Tomato, Avocado and Mayo. Will repeat for supper.

Sounds yummy. I am glad tomato season is finially underway as I love to eat fresh tomatoes from the garden all summer long.

Very nice.

Ha, nothing as big as the one you grew!

I just went and picked three quarts of tomatoes from the JULIET plants. I know I have three quarts as I used those plastic quart containers you get from the deli or chinese food in. I had them stuffed over the top. Can't believe how many tomatoes the Juliets produce. Just fabulous.

I do so want to make roasted tomatoes and certainly have plenty. Plus my VIVA ITALIA paste types are just starting to ripen and they sure would make fabulous roasted tomatoes as would the Juliet tomatoes that I pick lots and lots of. Of course I could use any of the other types as well. But my oven is gass in my stove and I just don't turn it on in the summer as it heats up the entire house.

Humm, I wonder if I could micro wave them? Not the same as oven roasted though. But maybe I should try.

Do you have a barbecue? That might work and you wouldn't heat up your house.

Fried green tomatoes are good on the grill. Of course that means they are not really fried but grilled green tomatoes.

And small firm tomatoes like the Juliets I grow are fabulous on kebobs on the grill.

But neither is the same exactly as roasted tomatoes which need an oven. And in the winter I don't have all these yummy tomatoes.

I can't remember what forum I saw it in but Dave posted a picture of a bunch of tomatoes roasting on an open fire, so I am thinking that they can be roasted on a grill and it may even give them a better flavor. I use my gas grill like an oven and it works with other veggies why not tomatoes?
