I'm just so proud of these tomatoes - first of the year picked today. Gotta go get some lettuce and bacon. These are "Talent" variety and there is an interesting story about their history... https://mailtribune.com/lifestyle/the-talent-tomato
I'm growing these in a big pot.
Update - August 19th... this plant produced about 10 nice tomatoes like this and then fizzled out - it became diseased. Guess it is not resistant.
Anybody else have tremendous tomatoes they'd like to share?

Huh? It’s only June 30th. I don’t know if they’ve flowered yet around here. I know, I know, they’re picking corn somewhere also. Well, corn is only 4 - 8 “ around here. Hope things come in before the snow. 🕶
We ended up planting late out of an abundance of laziness, but we should start getting Roma, whatever cherry tomatoes my wife planted, and a metric crap-ton of Tomatillos pretty soon:
There's also 8 different pepper plants in the far bed and a barrel half. Hopefully I'll be getting peppers and tomatillos at the same time, because I'm gonna need to make a lot of salsa to use up all the tomatillos. Also cukes and there's even a rumor that there's a strawberry plant in there somewhere.
I'm normally eatin' ripe tomatoes around the first of June, but this year I am a month, (or more), behind - still 3 or 4 weeks from ripe tomatoes.
I can't grow heirlooms because of soil borne diseases that have spread throughout my garden over the last 35 + years. Even growing in pots above ground doesn't let the plants last a full summer. I'm growing two varieties this year that are supposed to be blight resistant, so I have my fingers crossed, (which makes it hard to type... ).
