Tomato Big Boy F1

Repacked in Kuwait

The name, Big Boy, is easy to remember and so is the flavor. This is a big, sandwich-type slicer with smooth, bright red fruit and a flavor that everybody likes. It bears heavily in mid-season, yet the indeterminate vines continue fruiting (though not as heavily) until end of growing season . Plants in our Alabama test garden, where conditions are excellent, have yielded 100 tomatoes each through a 10-week harvest season. Long vines need staking, or grow the plant in a tall cage. Resistant to cracking.

packet 10 seeds

Can be eaten fresh off the vine or used for cooking. Delicious sliced into salads or on a sandwich. Pair with cheese and fresh herbs like Oregano or Basil for an elegant appetizer. Wash fruits, vegetables and herbs thoroughly before eating.

Plant in a sunny location . Best in organic-rich, well-drained soil. Keep soil moist,  Harvest as needed.

A well prepared planting bed enriched with organic matter such as compost or manure and a mild general-purpose, granulated fertilizer gets plants off to a good start. Give plants a boost later in the season with a fertilizer formulated for vegetables.

Fertilizers are available in many forms: granulated, slow-release, liquid feeds, organic or synthetic. Follow the package directions to determine how much, and how often, to feed.

Be sure to keep the garden well-weeded. Weeds take vital moisture and nutrients away from the vegetable plant
