    This is supposed to be a Roma but the tomato's don't get the full size. About as big as a large egg. But the taste is great! The plant is 6 ft. tall and 4 ft. wide. I have gotten about 50 maters off of it so far and there is at least 50 or more still on it! Glad I only planted the one!

    Yup those tomaters really like to take over in the garden. ;) I wish we would have only planted one.

    Don't be surprised if some night this fall a tomato bush knock on your door and wants to move inside. Are you missing a bag of fertilizer? Perhaps you lost a bag of it near that bush?

    When I planted it, I dug the hole extra large and put some Scott's Miracle Grow plant dirt in it and then planted the mater. The dirt already had the Miracle Grow in it. So didn't have to fertilize it at all. And this is the product.

    Nice! I almost wish I had ONE tomato plant! I ended up with almost 40 and I have enough tomatoes to feed the entire neighborhood! :)

    Wow, 50 tomatoes from one plant. I never counted the amount you should get from a plant but that seems like allot. Congrats.

    2013 is really a good Tomato year for me too! I have a huge Celebrity that is about 6 feet tall. I have picked dozens, and they are tasting Grrreat! So glad after last year. The awful drought just took the vigor out of them, and they tasted like grocery store toms in January :(
    By this time last year, I had ripped them up and sent them away!
    So glad they are so good this year!!
    Enjoy those tasty Toms Capt !!
