I actually went down to a garden center on the weekend after trying some really nice Juicy Fruit herb. Anyways, I picked up 3 diff types of tomatoes, I forget the names, but they are on the container still. I also got some watermelon and some green pepper plants. They are tiny and were $1.50. So far i've just put them in the kitchen window and had the window open durring the day (has been really nice sunny days but still to early here to put them outside)

I'll enter this, I'm sure I won't endup with the biggest/nicest tomato, but I'm sure I'll learn alot about growing in the process.

Ever look at some of your larger tomatoes and wonder if they’d be in the running for the Guinness Book of World Records?

Well unless they’re over 7 pounds, 12 ounces—yes folks, that’s a good-sized newborn baby—you’re out of luck.

Gordon Graham of Edmond, Oklahoma, holds the honour of growing the world’s largest tomato, which he harvested from his backyard greenhouse back in 1986.

Graham grew it on the theory that if he kept letting the plant get bigger, it’d be strong enough to hold, you guessed it, a big tomato.

And the theory paid off, although not before a storm blew over the entire 12-14 foot vine into his cantaloupes. He gave up on the tomato plant, but the future world’s largest tomato had other ideas and just kept growing on its own until one day, it came time to free it from the vine.

In fact, the entire plant became record-setting when it grew to 53 feet and 6 inches, the longest tomato vine ever grown.

Graham was honoured for his efforts by Miracle-Gro, who presented him with an identical in size, weight, and shape epoxy replica of his perishable feat; he jokes that it’s great fun travelling through airports with it, as it never ceases to confound personnel.

Not surprisingly, he also became the man to beat in Miracle-Gro’s $100,000 tomato-growing contest, but the closest competitors didn’t even come within a pound of Graham’s formidable fruit; the contest has since been discontinued, so now your only hope is to leap right into the hallowed halls of Guinness.

Best of luck!

Looking great 4u2smoke!! I put 24 "Big Boy's" in for my sauce tomatoes lastnight and also 4 Heirloom Brandywine's for my slicers (yuuuummmmyyyy.) I think we are pretty safe on frost's up here now. My neighbor jumped the gun and her tomato plants had 3 pretty heavy frost's this week and seemed to be doing just fine. In a couple weeks I will find a home for my herb as well. I will get some pic's up shortly of the gardens; probably just individual plants because my garden can be seen right from the road.
