Here is the 'Harvard Square' tomato in all of her glory! I got 6 this size and another 6 that were smaller. This one was a good 6" across! The plant still has some tomatoes on it - doing a thorough 'garden gleaning' in the near future. It's red and yellow on the inside. Flavor was mild but it's low-acid being a yellow.

Meant to post this earlier, but since I didn't, here it is now - the first bur on one of my chestnut trees.

Diana; Harvard Square; Nice looking and without a lot of wrinkling or bug damage! Similar look to Pineapple tomatoes.

I will keep it in mind for the future. I am trying to use up the seeds I have before I buy more so it might be a while. I have a lot of seeds in my seed box!

At this point I have a number of green tomatoes hanging at the tops of my withering tomato plants. I give them about 2 more weeks and after that will start dig the Korean Gold sweet potatoes, take in the remaining tomatoes and peppers, and disassemble the garden. After that I will plant the garlic and Top setting onions and move the Multiplier green onions. I would like put herbs next to the (new) patio so I can pick them without going into the garden.

Wow, I've never even seen (in person) a tomato that large, much less eaten one.

Flavor was mild but it's low-acid being a yellow.

I don't know exactly how acidic Lemon Boys are, but ours taste pretty "zingy". They are much smaller, of course.
