Customer Reviews Overall Rating: Write an online review and share your thoughts with other customers Sort Reviews: Newest | Oldest | Highest Rating | Lowest Rating - Wednesday, December 21, 2011 Huge tomatoes Reviewed By: Rachel (Indianapolis, IN) I started these from seed a bit too early as they got too big pretty fast. However, they still did great in the garden and produced the largest tomatoes I've ever grown. I made an entire bowl of salsa from a single tomato. They had great flavor, too. - Monday, March 15, 2010 Germination rate Reviewed By: Angela (Colorado Springs, CO) I started these seeds indoors and the germination rate is excellent! They were very easy to get started. I have little tomato plants all over the house now! :) I can't wait to see how they taste this summer. - Tuesday, February 17, 2009 Big Reliables Reviewed By: PenelopeJoan (Portland, OR) I've grown these the last two years with red mulch. I also grew other varieties both cherry and full size. These are the top producers for me. Also, the second year I used Gardens Alive Tomato fertilizer and not only had good yield of large tomatoes, I didn't get the blossom end rot I've struggled with for several years. Read More Reviews
