It was so much fun to grow a 2-pound tomato, that I decided to save some seeds for next year.


This past weekend I was determined to make a dent in the big tomato bounty that lined the kitchen counter.

I wrapped the green ones in newspaper to ripen on their own, I made a big batch of salsa to have with chips during the Broncos game and I slow-roasted some in the oven.

Then I had to decide what to do with the 4 Giant Beligums that tipped the scale with a total weight over 6 pounds. These were no ordinary tomatoes.

John walked in while I was cutting the 2-pounder and couldn’t believe I could grow a tomato almost as big as my head. (Just to clarify, I do have a small head.)

I heard from several gardeners wanting to know more about my Giant Belgium tomato crop. It seems people were most curious about their taste.
