Overall Taste Yield Ease	Pulaski, Virginia, United States Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days Soil Texture: Clay Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Large tomatoes with a nearly-empty seed cavity. Prone to disease in my garden. Taste is good for sauces; but poor for fresh-eating. Makes a nice thick sauce. Seeds were very late to germinate (10-14 days later than my other tomato varieties).
