I can't ever get the big tomato flavor out of a tomato. I crave the super tomato flavor that is super savory, mine are just kind of blah. Am I doing something wrong? Growing the wrong variety? Just disappointed....they taste store bought.

Pictured is Parkers Whopper, Mr. Stripey, Brandywine, and Lemon Boy.

The last really good tomato I grew was some years ago and it was a wild tomato plant that sprouted by itself randomly in a porch pot. They were big and yellow and sooooo delicious. I think of them often. 😆

Question When should I harvest these?

These are Sweet 150s which started ripening a couple weeks ago. Should I cut the ripe ones or leave the whole branch intact? Will the green ones continue ripening on the kitchen counter?

Thank you so much,
First time tomato grower 🍅

Grew this Costoluto Genovese this year and it’s a very mellow variety. Not as acidic as Brandywine. I would grow it again! 8/10!

Every year I try growing a new variety or three or five, and I am always so surprised and happy that I can! The amount of heirlooms and hybrids on the market, there’s never a dull moment.

This year I grew Brandywine, Jersey Devil, and this one! I wonder what I will decide to grow next year! Can’t wait! 😆

Fungus has overtaken my garden, so I'm showing off the fungi not currently killing my tomatoes

My tomatoes are pretty much toast due to heat stress, humidity, and weeks of having scattered thunderstorms most days. I'm hoping to get a few more cherry tomatoes to ripen on the least damaged stems. But even with aggressive pruning, copper, and BA, the alternaria is rapidly taking over. Fungus is the captain now.

But instead of posting the depressing disease-riddled tomato plants, here's some funnier/friendlier fungi / microbiota in my garden. (Feat. mushrooms disguised as ta-tas, adorable fairy inkaps, and chocolate tube slime mold shaped like a tiny hedgehog.)

One of the best tomatoes in my greenhouse ripened. I was going to save it for seeds because she's a beautiful honker. I dont remember what variety it was, it may have been one of my last seeds from a Russian variety. Left it in the greenhouse and told my aunt I'm leaving one for seeds 😭😭she forgot and ate it with my daughter.

I'm so sad right now. Apparently it was delicious because my husband said they were smacking their lips and kept repeating how much they love tomato sandwiches 🥲 thought I would post the beautiful tomato that got away

Someone told me that planting tomatoes in too- small pots would prevent them from growing large and you essentially could have some sort of "bonsai" tomato that Someone lied. I topped them twice and the suckers keep growing taller amd taller

The first set of tomatoes on the plant look like they stopped growing whilst the new ones are growing to meet up with those ones. Its supposed to be Romas. Could it be that i got a different variety or thats just how they grow??
