Those put my San Marzano's to shame. awesome size and I'd love to see the size of the plant.

The plants aren't especially big, they look like hell this year because they have a touch of septoria.
The fruits are a little smaller than normal, but not by much.

Those look really nice Martin!  

  They are very similar to a cultivar I discovered & now grow called Giant Italian Sauce Tomato. Makes me wonder how I got by using just Romas before I found these. They are a lot less work when it's time to make sauce...
