| I really did like this tomato and so did my customers at market. It is beautiful with the ribbing and had a rich tomato flavor. The yield was good (not as good as some others but a steady producer all season) and if not for that darned woodchuck raiding my garden I would have gotten many more. Will definitely grow again. |

| This variety was a heavy producer in my first time growing it. I found the tomato a bit more flat and scalloped than the description. The flavor was a bit above average. The plants grew out of control even staked and were just huge. I had to put stakes all aoround the plant just to contain it. Tomatoes averaged about eight ounces and over sixty per plant well into October. |

| I grew 4 of these plants. Some bushes did better than others. They grow out of control - they are vines. you cant trim them back you have to let them grow. The fruit was awesome! I am going to grow this one again next year for sure. Nice flavor - nice for cutting. As the season went on the tomatos got smaller, but when it started each mater was at least 2 lbs each. Nice flesh - juicy. Indetermiant. I did some pruning so I could see the tomatos and horn worms :(
