There are at least a few reasons why you may want to try adding some competitive tomato plants to your --hopefully highly successful-- pumpkin efforts.

-$3000 prize if you break 10 lb (subject to some conditions)

-more or less same growing requirements other than space, which is not nearly as much

-they are edible and taste great... They make a more watery salsa but if you make fresh salsa out of one (yes make a big bowl out of just one of your smaller tomatoes) you will want to skip the chips and just drink it straight down. Good for soup also. Big = less skin to remove.

They can do well with a slightly earlier start than pumpkins because they are a bit slower out of the gate. March 21 might work for big pumpkin zone growers. Feel free to join the tomato forum. Some other growers (and myself too) do have some extra seeds to share.
