The Big Boy Tomato
One of the most popular of the tomato
plants. They take about 90 days
to harvest and can grow up to 3 lbs or more.
The best flavor is when its at least 1 lb and fully ripe.
We are growing these right now in our garden. We would be enjoying them more if a certain 4 year old didn''t like to pick the "green" ones...
