Holy Tomato!

Just a quick post to show off a tomato grown by my parents. A massive heirloom variety that weighed in at just over two pounds. As it grew it pulled the branch it had grown on to the ground despite my parents efforts to tie the branch up with a bamboo stake for support.

Just for fun (and to live vicariously) here's the first fruit on an eggplant I gave them to plant in their garden:

Lookin' good!

  1. Mars,
    What % of your garden is using heirloom seeds? Laurie and I are thinking about only using heirlooms in our garden for 2010. It would be interesting to know which ones works best in Western Washington. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
