| I grew celebrity in two pots and put them in my south side yard. Despite the pots being slightly smaller than they preferred, Celebrity was healthy and prolific. I got dozens of tomatoes, some were easily 1 pound heavy and others half the size. While I used all organic soil and fertilizer, my tomatoes were overwatered and tasted bland. They are pretty tomatoes, heart shaped and red. My worse experience were the catapillars. I had both horn catapillars and tomatoe catapillars. They ate my tomatoes and tunneled into them causing very ugly oozing and holes in otherwise beautiful big tomatoes. I probably lost about a dozen tomatoes because of the worms. I used BT and whenever I stopped, new catapillars appeared. Otherwise, my celebrities were definitely star performers. Celebrities taste very good when cooked and the flavors are condensed. I'm not sure if I will grow it again because I wasn't impressed with their raw flavor but the skin wasn't thick as some claimed. |

| this tomato dissappointed me. i love brandywines, and while this was a prolific producer, i just couldn't get over how tough and thick the skins were. the flavor was just so-so for me, but these tomatoes might taste better canned (i grow mainly for fresh eating). my rutgers tomatoes tasted much better and are just as easy an prolific as this celebrity. will not grow again. |

| My main reliable variety. When all others fail this one can be counted on to produce baseball size fruit in large quantities. Taste was good to me. Somewhat resistant to the diseases here in the hot humid South |
