'Bush Champion II Hybrid' tomato from Totally Tomatoes. Determinate. 65 days. She's ripened two others so far, both over 1# each, with a few more on the way. I switched to nearly all Determinate types this season, just to see how much space I could save and for better air circulation in my beds. Due to Early Blight brought on by too much rain, the plants look horrible, but they ARE producing. I''m hoping to have enough tomatoes & peppers FINALLY for a large batch of Salsa. Happy, Happy! 🌻🍅🥒🌶

That prize tomato (singlular) of yours is perfect for a Caprese Salad.

Alternate tomato slices, fresh mozzarella, a just-picked basil leaf, then finish w/ balsamic glaze.

I’ve gone full Italian with this year’s crop of tomatoes...Olde Italian Red Pear (the BIG, fluted one, not those nasty red cousins of Yellow Pear), Romeos (BIG fat ones destined for salsa), Maria Amazileities’ Giant Red, Santa Maria, George Detsika’s Italian Red, Goldman’s Italian American, and more...yum!
