Mortgage Lifter Tomatoes

I grew these in 2013, but that was the summer we had constant rain and all my tomatoes rotted out. People around here do have good luck with them, though.

that's good to know. Thanks

It looks huge ! how big is it Bg , in comparison as large as an apple or orange ?? I like big toms ....

Hi Amy, this huge heirloom beefsteak (up to 4 lb.; average 2½ lb.) consistently wins taste-tests. Developed in the 1930s by a gardener who planted the four biggest varieties he knew and crossed one with pollen from the other three. He did this for six seasons and created a variety that produced immense, tasty fruit. He sold the plants for $1 a piece and paid off his $6000 mortgage in 6 years.

Wow !! Thanks for that info Bg , big and tasty you can't beat that ! I'm going to see if the seed is sold here ......

I've checked and yes they do sell them here ,I'm going to look for some to buy ....

Oh great Amy. Please let me know how they turn out. Let's compare notes. I've already planted the seeds in peat pots in my back bedroom. I'm also looking for a smaller - cherry tomato to plant as well. If you know of a good one, let me know.

Good luck !

Thank You! :)

My sister had fantastic yields last year with the Sun Gold cherry tomato. You might try that one. I'm planning to buy a few of those myself.

We like the Gardeners delight cherry Bg , my favorite small tom. is the same size as a cherry but plum shaped its Rosada F1 Hybrid , delicious ... Roma is a good one to .. I do like Tomatoes I eat them like sweets ! I will be well behind if your seeds are already in pots :o(

Thank you. I heard the same thing from a other sources as well. I'll try the Sungold.

Thanks Amy I heard that about Romas too. I know they make a great tomato sauce. I'm going to look for those as well.
