I have some in the ground as insurance, big beefs and estivas. They set so well.
A couple years ago I had Big Beefs ripening 16-17-18 oz tomatoes, boom boom boom. And no watered down tasting either, just perfect timing for the weather on those first three trusses. Just finishing up pizza sauce and soup from that year.
See if I can find some pics.
The big beef row was on the right. Pic is after a few pickings. The bigger ones in the trays were mostly big beef. The ones about a third smaller and more round are probably estiva. Like the back left tray, near corner. Estiva often keeps a really green stem.
