Finally gave in and harvested the first ripe Tsar Kolokol fruit--thanks to Ozark for the seeds! This baby weighed in at 1 lb 4 oz, and is completely unblemished. A supermodel of a tomato, if I may say so myself.

I grew over 30 (32 or 34?...I forget) tomato varieties this year, and so some of the plants are suffering the consequences of my greed--many of the leaves have fungal spots on them from not getting enough sun. Live and learn, I guess.

Still, I am happy with the production--some of the plants are fruiting like crazy...I'll post more photos later. The big winner is the Pink Thai Egg plant, which is tiny (less than 3 feet tall), but has over 30 fruit.
