Todays harvest: cucumbers, tomatoes, a variety of peppers, sweet and hot and some Japanese eggplant.....

Been meaning to post this up.

Went to see a guy's tomatoes that my grandpa is always raving about. They are on the right in the picture below.

Each plant is about 7 FEET TALL



George (grower of these tomatoes) has a "secret technique" he uses. He said, on average, he'll pick about 200-250 lbs. of tomatoes every other day.

These suckers are massive.

I was going to put up the one of my wife being dwarfed by it. But then I remembered this is the TFF, and that probably isn't a good idea

<-- so friggin jealous

what tomato verities did good for you this year?

LSS, what part of Tx are you in?
I am in Mesquite east of Dallas by about 10 miles,lol. I think the early girl did , is doing, best for me. I only did 3 varieties though, early girl, better boy and celebrity. This is the first year I "got serious" with tomatoes. Of the 3 varieties I did 2 of each. I pulled all the suckers from one of each plant and I do not like how they turned out. The plant still produced ok , but the foliage was minimal. I know the goal is to produce produce and not branches and leaves but I dont think I have enough leaves from the pulled sucker plants to support good tomato growth. I think I could of done better if the plants had more leaves on them. I'll save the sucker pulling for plants that are crowded, or maybe try pulling every other sucker. For the most part i am going to leave the suckers from now on.
