They're back-YAAY
Burpee is carrying my precious Bush Big Boy seed again. Thanks to Mike in Cypress for tipping me off. My Burpee Catalog was lifted from the Wallyworld Breakroom, when I had it in there. I barely got to see it.
Hey, speaking of which. Does anybody's Walmart have their seed racks yet. I work in Maryland and they still haven't even got them in yet. Some of those seeds probably need started soon. CECIL

They had the seed racks up in the Walmart I use at least 10 days ago. I was waiting on the Puppy Au Pair and browsed the seeds to pass the time.

Cecil, could you tell what you like about 'Big Boy'? I was debating whether or not to start some seeds I have of it, have not grown it before, sounds like you really like it?

Grew Bush Big Boy side by side with Bush Early Girl and found them both to be good yielding.

More e.blight tolerant then regular Big Boy, shorter, more managable (about 5'), decent sized tomatoes with a good taste, for a hybrid. Actually, my favorite tasting hybrid, too. One of, if not my best producer of large tomatoes in my crappy garden. CECIL
