Big Beef Hybrid
Several of you have asked me for our review on Big Beef Hybrid. Here is an update from when we planted the seed through today.
I have never planted this hybrid in our GH prior to this year. We planted 4 seeds on January 1st and all seeds germinated. We kept the best two seedlings and moved them to the GH the 3rd week of January. Big Beef, Big Brandy, Brandy Boy and Brandywine Sudduth were almost all identically robust - with Big Beef maintaining a slight edge. Big Beef has dense foliage and thick stems/branches! The truss in the photo has 15 blossoms/buds/tomatoes. Early indications promise a very prolific harvest. Trusses are popping out everywhere has this plant is branching out in every direction. The fruit is setting at very high % in our GH. I am using a toothbrush to vibrate the blossoms. I have not pinched any suckers on any of our tomato plants yet this season. I know Big Beef is not new to most of you and hope you will contribute your experience as the season progresses. |
