| Hello. You might want to click on the attached link and find tomatoes in the list. Hope this helps. There is also a tomatoe called "Thunderbelly" I purchased the seeds one year from a seed supplier in England. I grew 4 lb. tomatoes that year. I will post the name of the seed house as soon as I find the catalogue. |

Most competition tomatoes have been grown off of Big Zac and or Delicious.
Last year I broke the Ohio State record with a tomato which weighed in at 4.48 pounds and was grown off of the variety "Church" which was given to me by a friend "tomatoaddict" at www.tomatoaddict.com. Each season I hold a Giant tomato and pumpkin contest on my website, anyone is welcome to participate. In this years Giant Tomato contest we are giving away: 1st Prize:

| I doubt if the giant was a delicious.That was a one time freak of nature.No delicious has come close to that size since.For giants I'd go with an heirloom myself like Giant Belgium or Brimmer,there are several or the one hybrid that seems to out do them all is the Big zac available at Totolly Tomato. Since MRS. Zachariah was the lady that developed it sold the secret cross rights to totally tomato.She always has between 4-6 pound tomatoes. |

| The New Ohio State Record Tomato!!! Off of the 5.58 Timm and weighing in at 4.83 pounds. .35 pounds heavier than the current Ohio State Record. Brant's 5.58 Timm 08 was grown off of the 3.9 Catapano 07 which was originally grown from a Lyon's seed which was a Big Zac. 
I also grew a tomato which weighed in at 4.14 pounds off of a variety called "BelMonte" which had a perfect classic tomato shape. 
I grew 6 tomatoes over three pounds and 8 over 2.5 pounds. I have two pumpkins in the patch, one weighing just over 900 pounds and one just under 800 pounds and growing. If anyone would like to learn how to grow Giant tomatoes, pumpkins or just about any other vegetable your welcome to stop in at www.ohiogiants.com and learn from some of the best. |
