For lisaann and all tomato lovers out there.
Maybe I posted this before, I dunno. What I really want to know is why Frank doesn't grow them in VA, but maybe that's not possible where he lives. In any case, he and his wife Kathy travel to CO to visit friends, Larry and Anna, who grows them, and Frank is darn happy to make the trip.

They're my go-to tomatoes. Wish they could be bred for seed to breed true.

reuben, Thanks! That guy can really make a Big Beef be all that and then some. Maybe he doesn't have a yard or something. And he probably can't convince a friend to grow them, because that friend might be an heirloom addict? There is always a story behind the story! Smiling and waiting on my own first Big Beef of the season...………..

Last year, the Cherokee Purple somehow won the race for the first big ripey for the first big Caprese Salad of the year. It was soooo good.
This year, the early-planted Rutgers are ahead, but the Big Beefs are coming on strong. Whichever wins, I'll bury my face into it and be satisfied.

Thanks, tendingmygarden --- I saw your post this morning, and it made my day! As well as the quality and production of fruits, I love the disease resistance they have here in the humid southeast.
