My Delicious Beats Larry's Delicious

Now it is my turn. I brought in my tomato (type Delicious, like Larry’s) for official weigh in on Saturday, Aug 7. Andrew did the measurements, after having consumed some of his soothing exotic drink spiked with vodka that everyone else enjoyed. As usual, there were several witnesses and not a single one questioned his measurement method. Good job Andrew!


My Delicious measured 16.3 oz with a girth of 13.5 inches, taking the lead (sorry Larry). I know this lead will be short lived. Before the season is over somebody else will come up with a bigger tomato. We have been doing this competition for seven years and I haven’t won yet.


Three years ago, I bought this Delicious tomato plant (along with Big Zac) on the Internet for this competition. Every year since then, I have been replanting from their seeds. Type Delicious holds the record for the heaviest tomato, weighing 7 pounds, 12 ounces, recorded in 1986. OK, I am not shooting to break the record. All I want right now is to win the tomato trophy for once!
