RE: Tomato Seed (Recommendations)

Sue, I'm starting to run low & many are reserved for selling on ebay but you
can do a standard envelope SASE. I don't try to grow giant tomatoes, I grow
for taste, but some are large without trying. 

Take a standard small 6-1/2" envelope, put your address on it, put a stamp on
it and stick it in the larger size std envelope (#10) or fold it & stick it in
another 6-1/2" envelope, addressed to me, with a stamp on it of course. 

If still interested, look at the thread and go to the link & see some of the
pics and pic out 2 or 3. Let me know & then I'll give you address info.

Mark

check
the link below, then e-mail me. See especially Mexico, Neves, Brianna,
Gregori's Altai, Italian Sweet, Polish, German, etc. At least the ones there
taste really great too. Some were over 2 lbs naturally, without even trying
ANYTHING--no thinning, no manure, no pinching flowers, poor soil, etc. 
There's
something in every color including orange.

I sent seeds out to about 4 or 5 people but only heard back from Kevin so 
far,
anybody else I sent seeds please let me know how they did, both size AND
taste.

I  have been trying to grow a giant tomato for several years but have not
been as successful as I would like. I have been growing Big Zac and  getting
the
seeds from Totally Tomatoes. I was told that they have  an exclusive
arrangement  to make this seed but that many were not  satisfied with the
results they
got  growing it. It was felt that  Totally Tomatoes was not making the 
hybrid

seed correctly. Anyway, I  am wondering if any of you have heard this and if
so
where you might  be getting your Big Zac seed. There are some other places
selling it  but I don't know where they are getting their seed since they 
are
not
part of the exclusive arrangement.

I grow about 120 plants every year and have found the following  grow the
biggest for me. Delicious (Burpee), Big Beef (Most any good name  brand), 
and
Monster (P&P).  I have had poor results with Totally  Tomatoes seeds in the
past.
  One of the things I feed my  Tomatoes is Dry Fish Based Cat Food.  I 
trench
it in-between the  rows. Since I can't grow Pumpkins for a few years do to
soil disease I have  been growing giant Tomatoes, Sunflowers and Gourds,
though
the picture listed  below is from a few years ago. If you go to the link
listed
below you can see  a picture of one of my Big Beef Tomatoes.
