These huge fruits weigh 10 to 16 ounces, and arise very heavily on vining plants that keep producing all summer long. Stake the plant to support the heavy fruit, and offer additional bolstering as needed to let the tomatoes reach their full size. This is the prize tomato of the garden, the one guests gasp over, exclaiming, "What are you feeding those things, anyway?!" Of course, our Certified Organic seed gets this plant off to a great start, but its natural vigor and over-the-top production rates do the rest.
Start seeds for this tomato indoors about 5 to 7 weeks before the last scheduled frost in your area. Transplant them into the garden when all danger of frost is past and the soil is beginning to warm up. Pkt is 20 seeds.
