    :-D I got this one out of my garden this morning.
    Weighed on postal scales at 1 pound and 11 ounces.
    The next one is larger than this one!! :eek:

    ***CORRECTION***
    This is a Beefsteak tomato and not a Celebrity as I originally posted. Sorry for the confusion :-|

    Are you sure thats a Celebrity ? They usually go half pound tops. What did you feed that one steak and lobster?

    Deepwoods,
    I am beginning to be mighty jealous. We picked our first tomatoes today, and they are smaller than golf balls.
    Okay, seriously, I am so glad for you. That is one beautiful tomato.

    I have some that size too. They taste better than the big ones, to me. Thanks. :stew2:

    moderator's note: removed unnecessary quoting of previous post

    The "quoting" was to show whom I was responding to..it makes the conversation easier to understand... :-?

    I am so jealous!! :-?
    I have never had much luck with the beefsteak. I have tried them twice, both years they had blossom end rot and catfaced horribly. None of the other tom plants I put in the same spot have had that problem. Hmmm.
