Loads of Large, Meaty Tomatoes,
August 26, 2009
Submitted by GardenGirl88
from Twin Valley, MN
"Plants did very well with the WOWs around them, beating 2 or 3, 20 degree frosts in the area. We have loads of tomatoes ripening, all of them quite large.
Have harvested a couple for fresh eating, and they have a good flavor. Haven't had any problems with disease in these tomatoes, but one other variety is looking rather icky.
We really like the extra lycopene packed in these beauties. Our homemade ketchup and tomato soup will be healthier than ever."

Strong sprouter,
March 31, 2009
Submitted by Trishkie
from Elk Grove, CA
"I still only have sprouted seeds, but these things seem like they will be strong growers.
Started indoors in the Burpee Ultimate Growing System and by day 5 there were already 2 of these sprouted. Granted, I'm new to indoor seed starting, but that seems pretty quick. The next day I had 5 sprouted.
I hope they continue to grow as virgorously as they have so far and provide some tasty, extra nutritious tomatoes."

Great Sauce Tomato,
January 6, 2009
Submitted by Calin
from Philadelphia, PA
"I have purchased Health Kick plants from Burpee for the past couple of years and these are wonderful sauce tomatoes. I have gotten between 45 and 95 tomatoes from each plant. Since they are determinant, there are usually two major "harvests" in mid- to late-August and some lingering into September in my Zone 6 area. They are very meaty, large and fairly sweet. I have had the best success with fast-roasting seeded tomato halves with olive oil and garlic, removing the peel and pureeing. The photo is one of my tomatoes from 2008--it weighed over 13 oz!"
