So the 30 plus inch tomato is still very green and still gaining inches
With his permission I will confirm the grower is Mr Jack Larue. Yes you can have back to back super years. This is the first of probably many coming from his garden.
Go get er done Jack

Thanks everyone, Still green, it is a long ride to harvest a lot can happen. Just hope it holds together. It has a big circumference but does not seem as deep as others we have grown.

I am pretty sure that this one will be in the 7.5 - 8.8 pounds range. Just not seeing the depth that is needed for a 9-10 pounder. The circumference is now a little more than 31 inches. That is measured with a lot of leaves and vines in the way.

Tomato is starting to blush. Still growing may have to up my guess on it's weight.

Thanks everyone. Ten pounds will be a stretch just do not think she has it in her. It has been a hot summer two more days this week forecasted to be over 100 degree's. That will speed up the blush. Hope to hold off harvest & weighing until at least this weekend.
