Monster tomatoes

These are Big Boy variety tomato fruits from the MBA garden. They were started under grow lights in Mr. Chenery's lab in March. They were transplanted by Mr. Spiegl into the herb bed in late May. This is the same bed that was enriched with composted horse manure from Mrs. Christeson's farm, unloaded and spread by the 8th grade (class of '13) in April. Faculty Dell computer and current copy of "the Bell" yearbook are provided for scale. The large tomato weighs in at 1,141.2 grams and the smaller of the two weighs in at 631.7 g. They will be appearing in a bowl of Big Red salsa soon!
