Extraordinary tomatoes this spring. There wasn't much of a winter, followed by nice weather with a normal warm up. Then about six weeks ago it cooled off and rained several times. 2015 is the year of the tomato. This one is another pounder. I'm keeping the seeds and hope the plants that grow produce similar fruit.

SoMo Farm Tomatoes - here and gone like a cool day in May.
