    Well, I suppose someone had to do it?

    I'll be going for it but won't enter the competition, I won last year so I'll rest on my laurels!

    Fellow GCers, good luck, hope you have a great season.

    Big Boy still rules in my greenhouse , interesting to see if my USA imported seed can compare?

      Well I wasn't going to try growing a really big tomato this year after last years failure. Maybe I should, I will have to see if I can find space to cram in another plant :blue thumb:

        OK I've decided to cram in one plant of 'Delicious'. I might just win this competition if no-one else enters :)
