I also grew Flavor Bombs from seeds saved from 2022 grow. 2023 seemed the same as 2022. Tasted very good. I saved seeds again and will grow again. I don't seem to have pics of my 2023 Flavor Bombs. DTM was 38 days from plant out (plants 8 weeks old at plant out). For reference my Sungold DTM was 33 days.



Looking very similar to store bought Honey Bombs here.


Honey Bombs with lots of cracking in our too rainy summer of 2023. I wasn't very motivated to pick them since I have other better tasting tomatoes to choose from.

Looks identical to me. The rain was a nightmare in the area last year!
