Really nice sized plant and fits nicely in the big Burpee cage. I'd say this is a keeper! Good work, Mark!

Glad you like it, but get ready for a couple real treats. I have a pink Bloody Butcher x Dester at F6. It has been the best tomato for us two years in a row. Deadly old fashioned tomato taste, utterly over the top. It blew BW, Crnkovic Yugoslavian, RY, Elgin Pink, all of my measuring sticks away. It will be named Mat-Su Old School. I still am getting some segregation, so be patient.
