Best tomato I've grown, February 14, 2007
Submitted by Jerseygardener

Plant performance:		5 out of 5
Taste:		5 out of 5
Yield:		5 out of 5

"The Big Mama tomato is the best tomato I have grown. It is excellent in sauces. I use a pressure canner and the Big Mama has just the right amount of juice and not that many seeds. We only grow about a dozen plants each year and the yield is out of this world. The plants are easy to care for and produce a tomato that is uniform in size, taste and texture. Burpee has devoped a great all around tomato. We also use it in salads and on sandwiches and burgers. Great job Burpee!"

A Blue Ribbon Winner!, March 1, 2006

""Big Mama" has replaced other plum tomatoes in my garden! I have won several blue ribbons at our agricultural fair in the plum tomato category with the beautiful tomatoes that Big Mama consistently produces. I have found the fruit to be quite uniform as well. Nothing compares to having home-made spaghetti sauce in January from the loads of wonderful flavored tomatoes harvested in the summer from these incredible plants! The tomatoes are great eaten in a salad or used in cooking- I really love this variety!"

Big Mama Wins, February 16, 2006
Submitted by Digs dirt from Dayton, OH

Plant performance:		5 out of 5
Taste:		4 out of 5
Yield:		5 out of 5

"Big Mama is absolutely the best plum/paste tomatoe I have ever grown. The size is several times larger than any of the other varieties I have tried and remains consistent through the season. The fruits were blemish free and the plants were disease free. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it makes a fabulous all purpose tomatoe for sauce, slicing, salads and soups. Big Mama has a good flavor and it produced prolificly until the first hard frost. The frost survivors had no problem ripening on my counter and kept very well. My search for a worthwhile plum/paste tomatoe has ended. But now another search for a "favorite" will begin because of all the new found space in my garden plot! "
