Question about tomato plants?
There are several to choose from. I usually get a couple of each. I have had success with Whopper, Big Boy, Beefstake and Brandywine.

Reply:There are lots of larger tomatoes, like Better Boy, etc. However, bigger is not always better. I like acid tomatoes so I usually plant some Atkinson's. Also, I plant some nematode resistant ones in case the other do not thrive. I usually plant 3 or 4 Big Boy plants. I have found that the plants that produce larger fruit usually have fewer tomatoes. I once planted a giant tomatoe vine that grew on a trellis. It only had about six tomatoes. It all depends on what you prefer. I also discovered that seedlings from a local nursery do better than seeds ordered from a distant source. I have used some Burpee seeds before, but Bonnie Plant Farm supplies most of our young plants locally. Good luck.
Reply:Burpee seed company has a great catalogue. You can look through it and look at the big boys as well as ones you may never have heard of.

Reply:We have had great luck with Goliath. We get all our vegetable seeds from Harris Seeds. This link shows all their tomatoes.
Reply:I had these great tomatoes last year called Cherokee Purples. They were some of the best I have ever had and they were quite large, about the size of a softball.
