Default Tomato variety "Jetsonic"

A couple of years ago, Totally Tomatoes sent out sample packets of
Jetsonic tomato seeds. I still have mine, and am thinking about
planting them next year because they are supposed to be earlier than
my favorite, Better Boy. My BB's are just now finally getting ripe, 3
weeks later than my friends' tomatoes. (I did get them in the ground
late, but usually they catch up)

I can't find anything about this variety, and TT doesn't list it
anymore. Did anybody else get a packet and actually plant them? How'd you
like 'em?


I cannot make a sensible contribution but I can wonder about the name. Are
you sure these are tomatoes and not some kind of lentils or beans?


i think you've slipped a cog here David, the
company name _Totally Tomatoes_... and, i'm pretty
sure most gardeners can tell the difference between
a bean/lentil and a tomato seed.


I wouldn't wait too long to plant them as the seeds will already be less
than 100% viable.


this part i do agree with.
