"I start all of my vegetables from seed in March. In 2005, between the Bush Steak Hybrid and the Fourth of July, we had tomatoes from the end of April to Thanksgiving, even in this arrid climate of West Texas. We are originally from Kansas, where the rainfall was over 30 inches a year, but here, if we get 18 inches we are lucky. The tomatoes were wonderful!"

nice plants, July 18, 2009

"I planted these in containers for the first time this year in 10 gallon containers. They produced almost exactly as described in Burpee's ad. Each plant grew to about 3 feet and produced 25-30 tomatoes. The biggest was one pound but average was 9-10 ounces. Taste was quite good but obviously as a hybrid it's not the best tasting tomato you'll ever grow.

I planted seed on March 9 and picked the first fruit on July 6. They were certainly determinate for me and seemed to have stopped producing new fruit at this stage. These should be caged, as I had a couple side shots break off in strong winds. I'll plant these again next year for sure."

Determinate???, October 20, 2008
Submitted by Koshki from Southeastern Michigan

"I didn't expect this plant to get so huge! They grew right out of the Burpee cage, and really needed a second one. Nice large fruit, most were "oxheart" shaped, with a fairly nice, but not a knock-out taste. Ripened late, however. Most didn't get ripe until September and October. We got the biggest harvest just this week."

Great tomato...., February 2, 2008
Submitted by TomatoBug from Mount Upton, NY

"Nice, strong plants and very productive too. Not unusual to get a cluster of four or more nice sized tomatoes ripen all at once. The taste is very good, but can get a little mealy at times. The tomatoes do not have a lot of seeds, and they are nice size too, between medium and large."
