• Stacey's beast of a tomato.

    One of my customers grew this; it was a beast. Thank you, Stacey, for letting me share this.

    A snapshot sent in by one of my customers, incredible, this was a Pink Brandywine.

    Pink Brandywine.

    Days to ripen 77, the total number of fruits 32, average weight 250gms. So this is a giant tomato. Remember the more fruit you have on a plant ripening will reduce the average size. Brandywines flavours are intense, and vines can become large and unruly. Unruly tomatoes are the best, in my opinion. Feel free to send me your crazy pictures. Larger beefsteak varieties are prone to cocentric cracking and splitting near the stalk. This was a real beast!

  • Looks like you can grow a good tomato in Dunedin.

    Thank you, Aniko for sending in a picture of your fantastic results from Dunedin.

    A customer from Dundedin sent me in a pick of their crop, I think the one in her hand looks like a Soldacki, the yellow ones look like Faribo Gold and the small red ones are Rosalitas.  The small ones to the right look like Purple Calabash.
