Timing a Biggest Tomato entry is bloodsport. In hindsight, I should have removed the pink tomato from the vine the day before the big rain. But hoping for that last bit of water weight I left it on the vine and covered the vine with an improvised raincoat.
When I went out to check it last evening, it was starting to rot from the bottom. No way it could be saved. I brought it in and weighed it ...
TWO POUNDS, Eight and two tenths ounces ... THE biggest tomato I have ever grown. I put my ball cap on its head just for size comparison.
Then I cut away the parts that were rotting and tossed the good parts in a sauce pot.
