Overall Taste Yield Ease	Washington, Pennsylvania, United States Frost Free Season: 163 - 183 days Soil Texture: Clay Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day
Planted for the first time in (08). Beefsteak interior with typical beefsteak taste. Globe shaped and large with no irregular shapes or blossom end rot. Old fashioned taste with modern shape and disease resistance. A determinate variety better than Big Beef in my opinion.
