This is a Brandywine Dark that I picked 2 days ago. Length 4" and weight 10.26 oz. It is an attractive color - dark glossy red with green shoulders. This is the largest so far this season. I have picked a few at 3 1/2". I believe this to be from a single blossom not a multi-blossom. I will save seeds from this one for the fall. I didn't get my tomatoes in the garden until at least 3 weeks late. For a medium sized tomato BD is exceptionally early. The tomato below was picked at 57 dft. The first BD this season was at 50 dft. It is approximately 4 days later than Fourth of July, with FOJ almost always the earliest tomato that I pick, but they are small.
