What's Your Favorite Hybrid Tomato To Grow?

 
I was just wondering what your favorite hybrid tomato is that you
grow???  Here in central PA, Jet Star does very well for me.  For some
strange reason,  I never had much luck growing Early Girl.  The yield is
quite low.  Better Boy also does very well for me.  This season I will
be giving two others a try also.  They are, Big Beef and also
Superfantastic.  My yellow tomato will be Lemon Boy which I have never
grown before either.  Does anyone have any positive or negative
experiences with these new varieties I will be trying this season?

Better Boy.  I keep trying different varieties and coming back to
this one.  Good combination of high yield and great flavor.  It wish
if bore a little earlier and had better late-season disease
resistance, but you can't have everything.

This year I'm going to try Better Boy seeds (open-pollinated) that I
saved last year.  I'm planting them (and tomatillos) today.

Just a super tomato, attractive to the eye and very fine flavor.



Early Girl has an above average chance of BER, in my experience.



Lemon Boy:
Bland, watery (too much seed, not enough flesh)--that's my experience.
But it does make a very pretty addition to a display of garden produce.

I'll stick to my favorite heirlooms for large yellow/orange tomatoes.  
It's a toss up between Aunt Gertie's Gold (less orange) or Persimmon
(more orange).  Both have very small seed cavities and make amazing
sandwich slices.

tomato plant this would be it.  -- H (Chicago area)

 Been reading a lot of very good reviews on Big Beef tomatoes.  Some say
it's the best tomato developed yet for the home gardener.  I have high
expectations for this tomato but only time will tell.  Many times a
tomato that does well in one area or a certain type of soil,  just don't
do as well for others.  Other people say Better Boy is hard to beat as a
mid season cropper.  I started all my seeds indoors just this week and
will be using grow lights.  They will be set in my garden around May 15.
This year I will be growing my seedlings in the basement of my home
which is cooler than the rest of the house.  I will also have a small
fan blowing over them.  Hopefully this will produce stocky and healthy
plants :)
