Big Tom
« on: September 10, 2022, 20:32 »
Big Tom was allotment grown in open ground and is of the Crimson Blush variety. He weighed in at 14 oz.

Is there a bigger boy out there?

We had a Buffalosun, also grown outside on the allotment - weighed in at 716g (25.25oz) - tasted good too, cooked in the lotty shed alongside smoked bacon and added to a BLT sandwich for a midday lotty snack  :)
Edit - for ref, the scales are 7in wide

Having seen these monsters, 'Big Tom' is now known as Middling Sized Tom...

And there was a bewildered Growster, crowing ecstatically about several 3 and 3/4 oz volunteer 'Shirleys' being grown on vigin soil...

:0~

Well done everybody!

Also not this year, sadly the squirrels ate my potentially best specimen, but last year's Gigantomo weighing in at a tad over a kilo.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
