    Tomorrow is the last day for the Giant Tomato contest. If I remember correctly Brad (hope thats right) had the largest but I could be wrong. I know mine didn`t even break a pound this year so I am out. But everyone post their weights.

    As I looked through the pumpkin patch for a pumpkin for tonight and I saw a red pumpkin. I moved closer and could not believe my eyes, a super large tomato!! Wow I thought, a winner for sure, despite the three holes that must have been caused by a tomato loving insect. I dusted off my accurate scale that I had not used in years. 16 pounds!! I grabbed my camera, click, click!! Wait till the Gardenstew members see this one. :)

    I have no tomato to enter. I was busy trying to keep them alive with the drought trying to kill everything off. My biggest tomato was close to a pound, but I knew it wasn't in the running, so I didn't weight it. Good luck to whomever has the largest one.
