I would choose Better Boy over Big Boy. They seem more consistent and
uniform in size. I can't say that either is better in flavor because
they're both good. You seem to grow the same tomatoes I do. I've tried
German Johnsons and some Heirlooms, but always go back to Early Girls, Sweet
100's, Better Boys, Yellow Pear, and more recently, Grape Tomatoes. I think
they're the most disease and drought tolerant and the most flavorful.

I also think too many people overfertilize and water their tomatoes to speed
up the growing process and thus, give up flavor. Tomatoes are like a fine
wine and do much better with patience in growing.

This is my opinion. Hope you get others to help in your decision.

I will repost this message because previous post must have gotten lost in
the (tomato) header because I didn't get any response to it. I am hoping
some of you gardeners have grown both Big Boy and Better Boy tomatoes and
I
would like your opinion(s) on what your preferences are. I have to
drastically cut down on the size of my garden and will have room for only
a
few tomato plants. I'll definitely plant Early Girl, Sweet 100 (cherry)
and
either Big Boy or Better Boy depending on your recommendations. Thanks
