Looking good! Thanks for all the tips!

I enjoyed your video and congratulations on your success. As a much younger tomato grower, I always wanted to grow the largest tomato on the block but, many years later, I now put the highest premium on the tomato with the best flavor regardless of the size or the appearance.

I've been a gardener for years and I really enjoy growing tomatoes. Show more tomato series with the large tomatoes. I enjoy seeing the sizes, and colors. I grow only large heirlooms that produce a lot of fruit.

Nice work Gary! I hope we get tomatoes that big!

Wow! Those are impressive Gary! I would be happy with anything close to a half pound. I enjoyed the video. Thanks for posting and have a great day!

Holy moly...that looked like a baby pumpkin! Great size! My Toms are two weeks old...it will be awhile before i get fruit!

your tomato's look great, thanks for the video

thanks for the video

This video is awesome. We will be growing 13 varieties of tomato this year! I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Congrats Gary. Those are some great tomatoes. I felt bad seeing you take the Aussies, thinking of all the work that went into them. But then you've got plenty more tomatoes coming.

So glad I found your videos.. The seed companies should pay you to compare varieties!

These are some hefty tomatoes. Woohoo! Congrats.

I just re-watched this one for inspirational purposes. Those are some beauties, Gary. I'll dedicate a couple plants to try for some big ones this season.

They're all looking great ;0) 6 weeks and I get my turn to start the toms off ;0)

They are beauties!! I loved it! My Brandywines were large, 2 lbs and a lil less. I had several large Beef Steaks but my Brandywines were my winners, and so tasty! I love the heirloom maters as I see you do also. GREAT Job. . . .

Man, those are monsters! I generally stick to mid-sized slicers and canners, but have grown a few large beefsteaks here and there. I never thought to try to make them bigger by pruning. But, it sounds like something fun to play with.

Now those look amazing

Hey Gary...I’m having a heck of a time this year. Got the tomato virus on all my tomatoes..Pulled them all up and am replanting...any suggestions on how not to get it again?? Hope you see this! Thanks and have the best day ever! 🙃

My largest tomato this year was a yellow brandywine to 2 pounds 11 oz's. I do want to try some of those large ones Thanks for the info!

I know they were, I grew some cherry tomato this year, eastrinia it's a yellow cherry, huge producer, They are so sweet I like using for tomato soup, gives a nice sweet taste. you might try these next year,... not that you don't have your plate full. how is the challenge tomato doing hope it's meeting your expectations.

I like this video the tomato havest on your tomatoes was beautiful

Thank for sharing all your tomatoes video Gary, u give me a lot of knowledge and idea what kind of tomatoe i will plant next year. Are u going to collect all your tomatoe collection seeds?

OMG.........Wow!!!!!!

Nice tomatoes Gary!

Great Vids Gary-----New Subscriber Great Info on Your Stuff thank you

I was consistently getting pound and half tomatoes from my Mushroom Basket variety, planting the plants 12-18" apart. So last year I was intentional, setting plant by itself, it had feet of room, and I allowed it to vine out on the ground to pull all the soil nutrients it needed. Didn't even get a pounder on it, nor more than five tomatoes! Trying again this year, wish me luck!

Very nice! I have a "Black from Tula" that might be a 2 pounder. Time will tell, they are just now starting to ripen.

I can't wait to plant my box car willie and brandy wines outside, I haven't eaten a tomato like that since I was a little kid

Nice work Gary, interesting collection you have. Mine have split quite a bit this year and some have rotted on the vine probably will incorporate more smaller varieties next year. 1lber is all I got, but with limited sun what can you do.

Love the vids Gary. I pulled a big Pink Brandywine last night and it weighed 1.8 pounds(820 grams). My wife doesn't like the monster ones. Thinks it too much waste with all the 'cat facing'. I think it's a guy thing. Might have to try the Aussie next year. Keep up the good work.

I saw in a comment that you were going to have a video on the sauce. Never made sauce before so I'm interested in learning.

Congrats on those whoppers Gary!! No 2 pounders for me yet. I did grow a 1 lb, 4 oz Mr. Stripey last season. It could have grown to be 2 lbs, but was growing in a container and was not single stem. I have some growing in-ground this year as well as in containers, so we will see, this could be my year. :-)

Very nice,what state do you live in?

Hi my Darling i hope you are well. We have grown Tomatoes for the first time. Our seedlings were put in the final Pot a few days ago. Yesterday we noticed a few white spots on the leaves so the seedling was taken out as we do not want the Powdery Mildew to go to the other seedlings, i think that is what it is. Would you have any advice incase we have anymore the same. I really enjoy your Vlogs. When they were watered we try and make sure the water went under the leaves. We only have it on 1 seedling, the soil could have jumped up lol. We have planted some Basil as we all know they go together well in cooking x I have read not to Fertilize until the yellow flowers, woukd a fish frertilizer be good to use. In England we are unable to buy that famius Tea you and KaliKim use. Amazon here do not seem to selll it x

Pretty impressive large toms, Gary! How did they taste?

i weighed a 2lb 4oz today it is called pineapple yellow and red stripe bought this plant from a seed co. In oragon

I didn't realize box cars didn't get that big. The largest I grew was a 2.14 and it was a Pepe's gigante and big Zac.

do you grow in straw and mulch?? wow those are huge..

Your garden is so inspiring! Question: The red supports in the video...are they the stacking tomato ladders from Gardener's Supply? If so, are they worth it? Thanks!

My Aussies also getting pretty large:)

Wow you are talking tomatoes there... those are big... how long is the growing season for them? In Finland the summers are so short, I could never imaging growing something like that. What do you prefer tastewise?

Where did you get the scale?

Gary, can you post a recipe for the baking soda spray? or a link where I can find it, I'm growing some beefsteak tomatoes and want to be ready just in case. Sorry if someone asked already, just don't want to fish through the comments.

question for you Gary, do you cut a lot of the stems, leaves off of your tomato plants? Thinking I need to do that to allow more sun to get in there. I have a Big Beef right now over 5 ft tall, with over 29 tomatoes on it.

Good job Sir. Where can I get seed for these, so I can try this. Robert.

Gary, everything really is bigger in Australia haha

Bet these would make some good tomato pie

Wow ! What do you use to fertilize ?

Just weighed my Old German 1lb 8.0 oz

Wow! Do you take all the leaves?

My biggest tomato this year was a "Big Zac" 4 pounder. With 6 others weighing in at over 2lbs. I have a video with the weigh in of this tomato and another of a 2lb 10oz Big Zac. Next best was my Giant Belgiums, with many weighing in over a pound. Just click on my name to go to the video.

are they not picked a bit too green still? do you allow them to ripen inside before using for salad or sauce?

When they are not ripe do they ripen after you cut them ?

Mine are 1Kg.

How did you keep the pests away?

Ever grown German Queen tomatoes? They get pretty large and ugly lol. The plant normally gets 7 or so feet tall for me, I'd imagine it'd get bigger for you as you care for them better than I.

Enjoyed your weigh -in show. I have ordered some seed of some so-called giant tomatoes. Giant Belgium, Brandywine suddath's, Big zac[op] Big zac[f3] , Domingo . This last one domingo is relatively new to north america. I cant even find any extra info about it online about it only yahoo images. But I was sent info with the seed packet telling you that this is an heirloom grown by a family in Italy, along with a sample photo of a Tom in the 4 1/2 lb class. Besides that I received an excess of Belgium seed so Im doing a late season trial run with my brother to see what this plant may do providing weather holds out. They are now ready to put in ground.

What fertilizer use

These aren't tomatoes... they're frickin' pumpkins!!!

Do u sell beefsteak seeds? I need them badly 😭

I grew a beefsteak tomato look just like that one you show in the picture bait! Two and a half times bigger. And when I finally decided. To eat it. Like I don't do. It didn't taste very good at all the horrible! And it was just a volunteer plant. I didn't have the heart to pull up! Just to get it out of my f****** hair. when I'm growing the best damn tasting tomatoes ever.

so empressive thyat big tomatoes

I want your tomato, i like

Are they any good though? Taste like cardboard or all water?

sorry no pic dont have a clue how do that...child of the 50s lol
