I grew them for the first time last year. The plants were fussy but grew
large by the end of the season. Despite the sucess of their neighbors, all
season the Brandywines produced only a total of 3 tomatoes on 2 plants. One
of these was lost to rot and one didn't ripen. I was so peeved. In
September I took the sole survivor inside ad decided to make a sandwich
and.... OH MY GOD It was so good I couldn't believe it. I have grown a lot
of tomatoes, but as far as sandwiches go, this was the best ever.

I'm not sure Brandywines are worth the time , space and effort, but I'm
going to try them again this year, even for that one anticipated sandwich.

Sounds like one heck of a sandwich. I just don't know what I'm going to
do. I keep saying I'm not going to fuss about it, but my DH was
probably wanting to duct tape my mouth shut the past few days. I just
received the Burpee catalog and maybe I'll just go totally experimental
and get a hybrid. On their cover they have "Brandy Boy" tomatoes. Heh.
We'll see. At this point, all I know is that I had a very nice garden
planned and when I showed it to the family I got "oh, no corn?" and
"can't we have some cherry tomatoes too?"
