Tomato "Brandywine" 1lb 8ozs.........My biggest ever...........

Careful, Milky, you'll break the scales...
that's a whopper !!! :o)

Wow..That will be tasty!!!!!

How many 'Mint Choc Chips' will you have to eat to make room for this one !!! lol

Oh WOW Milky .. that's fab. what will you do with it , stuff it with rice etc. and invite the whole street round to eat it LOL..

Enough to feed a large family there, Well done Milky!

Wow makes my gardeners delight look little.

If there is ever a shortage of Pumkins Cinderella could call on you for a tomatoe for a carriage, well done Milky.

Not only big but perfectly formed. You'll get a few sandwiches out of that.

wow

Thanks all.....These are really delicious tomatoes, and nice and firm, Slice really well for sarnies and brilliant under the grill......

Cool!

Looks like one of those Tomato Ketchup holders you used to get years ago....with the squirty bit on top. :0)-

OOh yeah...I remember them......

Loved em as a kid....the novelty aspect I guess.

Gosh, what with squeezy toms and green shield stamps, I'm reliving my youth this week on GoY!!!!

Wow.... that,s a big one Milky....

Thanks Janette....Cor Oddbillie I remember the green shield stamps.....and I had a full set of robertsons "gollywog " badges too..remeber them?.......

I was very young but my next brother up from me had them if my memory serves me. Thems were the days.....!

wow what a wopper milky, well done you

The nice thing with this variety Sandra is they are all flesh...very few seeds

even better, i havent seen them before

Well worth trying Sanbaz.......

even if i dont have a greenhouse milky?

Course you can Start them indoors on a window ledge about mid April ready to plant out late May June "Simples"......

lol great i will put this pic in favourites to remind me :o)

You will love them..............

What a monster!

Now thats what I call a tomato, is it a record I wonder?

Certainly is compared to ours DD ..good for sarnies .. you make your own bread too Milky ? must have an industrial oven to make sandwiches big enough lol

Well Bonkers, just as a matter of interest, I just measured it round the middle and its a whopping 15 inches ha ha ha ....PS I dont make my own bread because I wouldnt be able to stop eating it......Nothing like the smell of fresh bread still warm......

Lovely we have a little bakery at end of road .. tiny little shop with old tins and things still in jars .Husband and wife team run it and will make things to order ..wonderful even Christmas cakes which weigh a ton .

Could you bake that tomato with a filling ..sorry no cook as you can probably guess..

Your right Bonkers, you could...Like they do on the Greek Island, stuffed with rice and mnce and herbs....brill idea......

Great sliced in an oil and vinegar dressing with basil and garlic, and perhaps mozzarella, with torn basil leaves.........shall I go on?

Yes please DD got the oven on ..how long do you cook salad for ?

Sounds wonderful Dotty.........

BB your barking..........Milky it is!!

Believe Barking to be in Essex DD .. that would explain Milky and Toto lol.. I m in Yorkshire but we do have a village called Crackpot ...

Well that says it all Bonkers............

What a size, Milky...what on earth were you feeding that plant on......whatever it was ....you should write to the company and offer your pic as an advert...you could win a year's supply free Tom food!!! If it tastes as good as it looks - we will all be round for supper!!!!

So Sorry Alzheimer, but Ray's already eaten it......and all I fed it on was Tom food.....Wilkinsons Tom food at that...........

Good advert for Wilkinsons....lol !!

Well Im impressed....did ok on everything else too...

just found this photo Milky. wow my brandywine did nothing this big...well done you. but they do taste good dont they.

Oh yes Sandra....these are one of my favorite flavored.....They are so sweet when you just grill them and absolutely lovely sliced in a sandwich.....

i have the new seed catalauge..theres just sooo many to choose from...but i do like looking...;-))

I know Sandra....so many pages of Tomatoes alone.......

We grow heirloom tomatoes icluding brandywine. Good job!

Tasty arent they Dove c......sometimes not particularly nicely shaped, but lovely to the tastebuds....

of the fouteen varieties we trialed this year...German red strawberry were our favorite big one...so big ...so red and so tastey..2lb 4oz was the biggest and not too deranged in shape.

Wow....I shall make a note of that name Sandra, and give them a try.....

the oddest one was 'hillbilly potatoe leaf' tasted nice but the fruit was so lumpy and bumpy and odd brown bits on the skin.

Not heard of that one Sandra, but I shall certainly try the german one

Gordon Bennet !!!! Does the plant grow across the floor, like a courgette ? If not, how on earth do you support it ? I still can't get over the size of that Tom !

Nor could we Muddywalters.....It really didnt need that much support at all apart from a really sturdy cane, and a little extra tying to the cane than normal, to stop the weight making them slide down. The trusses themselves seemed to cope adequately with the weight of the toms themselves....

Wààààww!!! One is enough for a whole pot of soup ;-)

Ha ha It certainly was Hildadorisser......

I have only just found this pic Milky...I love it. The first thing I thought of were those ketchup bottles in the 1970's. I am trying tomatoes at the other end of the scale this year.."Tomberries" I have no idea if they come true from seed but worth a go.. Lovey gave me some advice today re tomatoes. Hopefully I will not have to resort to Chutney again next year...Happy Christmas to you.

We grow the small ones too Pimpers....I love them because they are so much sweeter, and just bite size as I walk past the plants ha ha ha Lol......Tomberries a nice one.....but I love Sungold.....so delicious.......
