My Delicious Leads at 35 Ounces!

Another tomato weigh-in happened last Wednesday, Aug 14th at the courts.  It was time to bring my ripe Delicious tomato that I had been giving special attention to for the last two months.  Linda, Angeli and Syria made the official measurements of this beautiful tomato, and the measurements were recorded to be 16-1/2 inches in girth and weighed 35.0 ounces. 

This Delicious now leads the contest, beating the previous leader, Pam’s Brandywine by 4 ounces. 

 

This contest is by no means decided.  We have at least two more months of tomato growing season.  I have seen a winner come out as late as October (right Pam?).

Pam's Brandywine Humiliates My Big Zac

Pam showed up at the courts Wednesday morning with a red shopping bag containing two huge tomatoes she is entering in the tomato contest.  The official weigh-in put one of Pam’s Brandywine in the lead, weighing 31.0 ounces with a girth of 16-1/4 inches.  The other Brandy Wine still beat my Big Zac, weighing 24.0 ounces with a girth of 14-1/2 inches.

Syria made the official measurements in the presence of several observers (Kim, Bev and Donna).

Great looking tomatoes, Pam!

Pam’s Brandy Wine is pretty hard to beat at 31.0 ounces.  We have a few more months left this season.  I still have a Delicious on the vine that might have a chance..
