RE: Tomato Seed (Recommendations)

Marv & George, (& Pirate Kevin & Alan N. & Mark M. & Alan & Dave B. etc) 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.
