Big Yummy Hybrid Tomato Seeds

Days to Maturity: 65 from transplant

Determinate

The original Whopper was an American classic, and its successor is simply the home gardener's dream tomato: greater disease resistance, higher yields, a longer season, and better taste. These big, juicy, crack-resistant tomatoes, 4 inches or more across, ripen uniformly (even when the weather is overcast) and finish 5 days sooner than the old Whopper. Then they keep right on coming in huge quantities until frost—none of your smaller, greener end-of-season fruits here. And because they're meatier, you get even more succulent tomato flavor in every slice. Resistant to verticillium wilt, root-knot nematodes, tobacco mosaic virus, and 2 strains of Fusarium wilt.

Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant outdoors when danger of frost is past and night temperatures consistently remain above 55 degrees Fahrenheit. If an unexpected late frost is forecasted, protect young plants with plastic sheeting or other cover. Set plants 2 to 2 1/2 feet apart.
