Has anyone EVER seen tomatoes do what they are doing in the below pictures? One of them is up to 15+ feet tall!!!

Started growing these in the backyard garden in sunny Hollywood, CA about March 2005. Consists of(from left to right in the last picture), Super Sioux, Martian Giant, Cherry(3 plants of each). All organic seeds from Seeds of Change, and the soild that sat (with the occasional turning of the soil) from November 2004 to February, with 2 bails of sphagnum moss, 2 large trash bags of live horse dung, 18 cubic feet of cow manuer, and 3 nags of compost(for the dinner tabe), and 100 worms.

Love the shot of picking tomatoes with a cherry picker. You sure got the right combination of amendments to have such a successful crop. Thanks for posting the pics.
