Well, Amy Goldman has NOTHING ON US! Stephen has grown multiple varieties of heirloom tomatoes from seed and our garden is brimming with herbs and ripening tomatoes. The tiny SunGolds are coming off of the vines by the handfuls and our first WHOPPER Cherokee Purple tomato weighed in this past weekend at 1 1/2 pounds. It morphed into… not one, not two, not three, but FOUR tomato sandwiches last week! Its size was only surpassed by its delicious taste.

This past weekend, a new “record-breaker” was plucked from our vines. It was another Cherokee Purple that topped the scale at 1 9/16 pounds. The pics of this gorgeous tomato were made on the scale so that there was no question about its size. Needless to say, these beauties are very happy in the soil that Stephen worked so hard to prepare with load after load of leaf mulch… Can you believe that these tomatoes are all organic…no fertilizer, no pesticides, no chemicals of any sort?

I don't think the stem(it can weigh oz in it's self should count) thats kinda cheating don't you think?
