So I saved some seeds from store bought Honey Bombs and grew them out in 2023. I think they look pretty close, but they did not taste as good and will not be invited back. To be fair, it was a very rainy summer and not a great tomato year in general. They cracked like crazy, another negative for me. DTM was 48 days from plant out (8 weeks old at plant out).
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. Jen |
