Mrs. Maxwell's Big Italian tomato

Wanted to share my Mrs. Maxwell's tomato picture. Picked 6 this morning and 2 are still 1/2 green. All the tomatoes are just at a pound or slightly less. Very good flavor, lots of juice and more on the sweet side than acidic but a nice combination. Plants are potato leaf and kind of midseason variety. Plant had few disease problems and very good production for my climate. Very good tomato for sauce. Not sure the tomato has anything to do with "Italian" or not.

NIce!! It looks like George Detsikas with those shoulders so it could be an Italian.
