Your opinion on these tomatoes please

 


From the research I've been doing,  it seems certain tomatoes do well in
most any part of the U.S.  I'm from Pennsylvania zone 5-6 and plan on
giving these a try next season.  They are:  Lemon Boy,  Early Girl,
Better Boy and Big Beef.  If you have grown any or all of these,  please
respond and let me know how you made out with them.

Thank You ............ Rich

I've grown Better Boy for some time.  Very vigorous, heavy producing and
reliable plant, a good percentage of big tomatoes (I grow in cages), and
VFN disease resistance.

Thanks for the information Tony.  I have read that Better Boy seems to
out perform Big Boy and the Big Beef does better yet in most cases.

Lemon Boy is okay, and Early Girl, but Big Boy takes a long time
to ripen, espicially in zone 6.

    Have grown both in past years. No longer do. No particular reason.
Not heavily into tomatoes (or to fruit, in general) and usually find 3-4
big boys and *sometimes* a determinate or two (two celebrity, this
year), more than adequate. I'd hate to think that I had to deal with the
product of 25 tomato plants. Although, as a rule, DW&I set aside one
plant to ripen fruit but eat most of the tomatoes in some stage of
"green"-ness.
