Unique and tasty,
July 13, 2009
Submitted by stinyfourtwenty
from Anaheim, CA
"An amazing plant.
Starting from seed, some succumbed to disease, but the survivors were more tolerant to the local climate afterward.
Doesn't require much nitrogen, but it greedily-feeds on both phosphorus and potassium. Best to compost, though, for flavor.
A good candidate for supercropping (crushing the stems so they grow back more robust), the fruit on the supercropped stems grew to mythic proportions while retaining flavor.
Easy to grow for the novice, but good enough for any table. Should be more popular than it is, in my opinion."

Great tasting tomato,
April 6, 2009
Submitted by partovi
from Miami, Florida
"I started from the seed on September 2008 in South Florida, I transferred it to my vegetable garden end of October, start harvesting end of January 2009, I get an average of 6 tomatos a day from one plant, average size of the tomato is one pound, the largest I have got so far is 1.5 pound.
It is very flavorful with mild acidic consistency; the plant is about 6 feet tall now. It is a great all-around tomato.
I use liquid fertilizer once a week with miracle-grow (I alternate between tomato fertilizer and bloom booster).
The plants does not get the required 7 to 8 hours of sun, it gets about 4 hours of sun.
It has a very good shelf life. Great for sandwich and salad."

Best Tomato I Ever Ate,
February 19, 2009
Submitted by Jivan
from Northern New Hampshire
"Fifty-five years ago, in our garden in Barboursville, WV, my father and I grew Mortgage Lifter tomatoes. They are, by far, the most delicious tomato I have ever eaten. I am delighted to know that I again can grow these delicious tomatoes and enjoy their flavor."

Truly Special,
December 21, 2008
Submitted by Timothy
from Southwest Oklahoma
"This plant has an excellent and unique flavor as advertised. The fruits' color is different from standard varieties and when you cut one open you'll notice the pattern of the inside of the fruit is different than other varities.
Like many heirlooms, this plant will come on late and it requires special attention. The seedlings are delicate and can struggle early.
Don't be frustrated when you see flowers early but no fruits until late. This plant should be grown in concert with early producing varieties to remove the pressure of quick production. Offer patience and this plant can give you a truly special treat at the end of the Summer!"
