I've got 1 plant #8 in the 15 gal pot shown in the pic just taken, and I've got another 8 in the ground and 2 #11's in the ground in a different location that are all doing very well so far.
You should get a real winner out of that many plants. We look for early selections, and I just love what we call that "old fashioned tomato taste." Many good tomatoes are sweet, or have a good tomato taste, but so few have a rich complex tomato zing, and I must say that Mat-Su has thrown out quite a few that fall into that category. You will still find some taste variation because I did not save seeds from just one selection from F4 on, but anything selected was excellent. The F4 A's had many very good selections that were carried forward.
Enjoy, they are nice RED tomatos.
