I saw Brandy boy for sale at Tractor Supply last year. I am going to check there soon and buy one if they have them again this year.

Wow, I am not surprised they chose to use your pics - you're gifted in photography as well as in gardening
Wish I had a digital camera to take pics of my tomatoes, but no.. and my mobile phone is an ancient one ...

Love the picture of your granddaughter with the onions! Good advertising - you've got me convinced I need to try a new variety, heh. Your greenhouse is so practically designed for a northern climate, I think your experience together with clear photos of construction details would make a book that would sell.

Here are a few more photos taken today of our Brandy Boy Hybrids - a heavy producer and a great tasting Hybrid - IMO !!

You win the highest award. I just can't make up my mind if it should be for excellence in growing tomatoes, or for excellence in photography !

Hudson has perfect growing environment for Brandy Boy and Others.
Las year I grew Br.By. The taste was excellent. But out of 3 plants I did not get as much as Hudson gets out of a single plant. I give credit also to Hudson's know-how and blame my failure on my growing conditions.
So I might grow Brandy Boy next year again.

Thanks Mark, Yak & Gardeneer! Gardeneer knows me best - from another forum and my GH handicap - but Brandy Boy as been a favorite from the very first year. I can't remember Gardeneer - have you tried Brandywine Sudduth? It is about 75% as prolific as Brandy Boy for us and my wife says it has a little better taste. I can't tell the difference in taste - they are both great. Maybe Sudduth will grow better for you than Brandy Boy?

I am saving F2 seeds this year to see what we get. I know others have had success so we may as well give it a try in that we grow Brandy Boy every year!

Hudson, probably you know John in the other site. I think he has taken BB to F10 and he has seen no deviation.
So the next year you will find out for yourself.

isu , your plant looks very strong. Brandy Boy is a vigorous tomato plant with huge leaves.

Thanks Gardeneer!

I agree - your plants look great isu - they appear to be plants headed for success!

Most of our Brandy Boys are single blossom fruits but I don't mind leaving the fused blossoms mature and harvest. Here are some of them. Oops - looks like one of the photos is of a large single blossom Brandy Boy.
