| 77 days from setting out transplants. Determinate. No matter what growers say about tomatoes, the difference between a merely good variety and a standout classic comes down to flavor. The ideal blend of sweet and tangy, soft and firm, juicy and meaty -- that's what makes a great tomato. So even though Fabulous has a fine package of disease tolerance, an attractive size and look, and good yields, you should grow it for one reason and one alone: the indescribably delicious taste! These 8- to 12-ounce tomatoes are perfectly blended, luscious globes of good flavor. Just a bit smaller than a beefsteak, they'll great for slicing onto burgers or sandwiches or cutting up small for salads. I like them best with balsamic vinegar and a little fresh basil sprinkled over the slices, but they're also scrumptious plain, straight from the vine! Very sweet yet with just enough tomato kick, they really satisfy a tomato-lover's desire! Fabulous Hybrid is also one of the easiest tomatoes to grow, because its fantastic array of disease tolerances keeps the plants healthy and producing heavily. This plant is tolerant of just about every tomato disease you can think of: Verticillium Wilt, Fusarium races 1 and 2, Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Alternantheria Stem Canker, and Stemphylium! Wow! That means less fussing over plants and more harvesting of fruit! Fabulous Hybrid is a determinate plant, and like all tomatoes it thrives in full sunshine and rich, well-drained soil. Space plants at least 2 feet apart. Pkt is 20 seeds. |
