Have just grown it once in northern Florida. It was quite vigorous compared to three other varieties and produced nice looking, large tomatoes. How it will last throughout the summer heat I don\'t know yet, but I\'m impressed with its performance so far.

I wasn't prepared for the indet. vines. I grew delicious along side Grandma Frieda, and I can say delicious out performed it in terms of taste, and early ripening. I grew from seed indoors and had no problems start to finish, except for the vines which did get out of hand.

Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, United States
Frost Free Season: 103 - 123 days
Soil Texture: Clay
Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet
Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day

Out of the dozens and dozens of varieties i've grown--this is by far my favorite. Huge plants, huge smooth fruits. Terrific slicer that covers an entire slice of bread. So meaty you hardly need anything else on the sandwich. The volunteers from the previous season grow stronger than the "fresh" plants I put in. LOVE this mater!!

This was the first type of tomato that I ever grew. It was easy as pie... only thing was, I couldn't keep up with it. It grows very fast and needs staked or caged. I grew 6 plants and ended up giving away over 75lbs of tomatoes during the season!
