I've only harvested about a dozen of grape tomatoes, but I today I harvested my first really really big tomatoes. I believe these tomatoes are called "Mortgage Lifter" tomatoes. I purchased the plant from a green house, meaning I didn't start it from seed. Anyhow, I can't believe how big these tomatoes are. The size of these tomatoes are very similar to a beef-steak tomato.
I'm going to enjoy my tomatoes tomorrow as a snack. I'm excited to see how the tomato will taste. On a side note, this tomato has a very interesting name. If you're interested in how this tomato got its name, Mortgage Lifter, you should check out the following website: http://www.tomatogeek.com/2010/08/04/mortgage-lifter-tomato-story/.
Are you growing tomatoes this year? How far along are your tomatoes coming?

My lil' cherry tomatoes are growing...they're shaped like a small bell though (forgot the name) but I'm so proud of it. Hehe...And MJ's dog, Karma LOVES tomatoes. I feed them to her sometimes and she wants more!
