Post your tomatoes

Growing a bunch of romaine and cherry tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes are staying in the tent but all the romaine is going outside in the big bag beds.

Your tomatoes look awesome. I've got a cherry tomato plant next to the house that's still alive for now, but everything else is has been dead for weeks. Does it frost and snow there?
 
So my mom was at my house last week and i was showing her my tomato plants when i mistakenly broke off a branch, i was just gonna throw it away when she said no just put it in a glass of water and put it on the window seal. 7 days later.

I grew 39 tomato plants last year but everything was destroyed by field mice and squash bugs. Any ideas on how to rid my garden of these naturally? The squash bugs were the worse, I would find 20+ on each tomato everyday and it seemed like no matter how often I sprayed with Neem Oil/dish soap/water they just kept coming back. I grew some Trinidad Scorpion peppers this year so I'm going to try a pepper/garlic/dish soap/neem oil spray and see if that helps. Any other ideas? Oh yeah from all of the heirloom types I grew, my purple Paul Robeson was the best tasting. Better than the Cherokee Purple, Brandywine, Granny Cantrell and everything else I grew. Get your hands on Paul Robeson if you can, they are amazing.
 
I don't know if you can tell from this pic taken in the dark last night with my headlamp, but I just picked a whopper!

It's a mortgage lifter heirloom. Wish I had a scale, but maybe 2lbs?

Here is the ugliest tomatoe you've ever seen. All of my brandywines from that plant have some sort of deformity on the bottoms - but none like this.

Looks normal from the top...IMG_20160820_2031106.jpg
But turn it over and...IMG_20160820_2030109.jpg

From what I've read, it could be a genetic mutation that affects 1 in 1000 seeds. I suspect though that it is from pushing the season and planting when too cold. Maybe I need to brush up on my hardening-off skills.

In any case, they're still big and tasty(:
