Default What's Your Favorite Hybrid Tomato To Grow?

EVP MAN said:

I was just wondering what your favorite hybrid tomato is that you
grow???

Just a super tomato, attractive to the eye and very fine flavor.


Here in central PA, Jet Star does very well for me. For some
strange reason, I never had much luck growing Early Girl. The yield is
quite low.


Early Girl has an above average chance of BER, in my experience.


My yellow tomato will be Lemon Boy which I have never
grown before either.


Lemon Boy:
Bland, watery (too much seed, not enough flesh)--that's my experience.
But it does make a very pretty addition to a display of garden produce.

I'll stick to my favorite heirlooms for large yellow/orange tomatoes.
It's a toss up between Aunt Gertie's Gold (less orange) or Persimmon
(more orange). Both have very small seed cavities and make amazing
sandwich slices.
