Thanks, same here. That is why I don't want to buy 500 seeds when I am trying a variety of the earliest hybrid big tomatoes and see if any can get me making money a week earlier. I'm losing my best and earliest variety, Pik Red, an old 1970's commercial Harris hybrid that was discontinued. That leaves me with the only decent tasting big early commercial variety I've found so far, Biltmore F1, and it is not as early as Pik Red.
