I bought a 'Super Fantastic' tomato as a young plant on May 7th. Be honest now, and tell me the truth. Could you just walk away from a handsome tomato plant with such a promising name?

It is an indeterminate type tomato, and the label says: Height 6 to 9 feet. Here it is seven weeks later, and taller than I am. (The tomato plant on the left is a 'Better Boy').

I had a bit of trouble with blossom-end rot, so it was not until July 21 that we were able to get tomatoes from it. The 'Super Fantastic' tomatoes are firm and nicely shaped, and only a little smaller than the predicted size of 10 ounces.
"Super Fantastic' are very good sliced for tomato sandwiches!
Have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteHello, I love tomato sandwiches. YUM! Happy Monday, enjoy your day and new week!
ReplyDeletei am so jealous! i picked my first red tomato yesterday and it is no bigger than an apple!! i started all my tomatoes with seeds in early april and although the plants look great, they are not producing!! i have never had any luck with better boys!!
ReplyDeletethere is nothing better than a tomato sandwich!!!
It looks like Super Fantastic has been super for you! The vines sure look good and healthy.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely juicy tomato.
ReplyDeleteYou have me drooling! Nothing can beat home-grown tomatoes!

I've been having trouble with blossom rot on a Sicilian Saucer tomato plant. They gave me some high calcium feed at the garden centre so I am hoping that will work. The squirrels don't seem to mind the rot! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLook great! Yum
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fine tomato, one I've never heard of before. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteOh my that's a real beauty! I'd love to bite into that.
ReplyDeleteDelicious.
ReplyDeleteWe are very much at the other end of the garden season here - I dug over our vegetable bed this weekend, just to start getting ti ready for spring.

I expect that in my care, the plant would die. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sample of your crop. A fresh tomato sandwich on my mom's homemade rolls---I miss them.
ReplyDeleteHandsome plant and tomato! I still can't pass up a tomato plant with a fun name, so I'm happy I didn't come across one. Four cherry tomato plants bloomed voluntarily in a perfect spot in the backyard. They're sweet as candy.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats the deep, deep red of a ripe tomato!
