Default My Shannon's is HUGE this year..

She's looking good again this season. Maybe the tallest I've seen her. Producing nice sized ones as well! Love this as my sauce tomato.

Looking good! That is one impressive looking plant you've got growing this year!
Mine is in a 15 gallon pot, and has done pretty well this season. However, the fruit size and shape are a little smaller (6~8oz) and rounder than yours.
I need to look back on when I saved these seeds last, as I do recall the fruit from the original seeds you gave me look closer to your above pictures.


Great results though! What else have you got growing this year?

Hey Lee! Hope all is well!
I moved 2 years ago and haven't set up THE garden yet. Too much shade but trees are coming down this fall. I'll take the shade though!

That's the funny thing about her. She has so many different shapes. But never round or flattened.

Not growing anything crazy this year. Shannon's of course. My Orange slice grow out, you'd love that one, KBX, Carbon, Mexico Midget, CP, PBTD, and a bunch of hybrids. No Cuostralee this year. Out of seeds.

Gosh- I tried for Shannons seeds this year and was not successful Your plants and harvest are impressive, I am sure you have lots of seeds but I would love if you may entertain a seed trade of some sort for next year? Congrats on your harvest so far for 2022!

Very nice! There is an unnamed heirloom tomato that looks a lot like yours that was passed around here in Oregon some yrs ago by a now-deceased master gardener.
