Better Boy
These plants are beasts! I live in east central Florida and plant a single plant in November and by February I’m over run with tomatoes. They will easily dominate a 4’x 8’’ bed. These grow so fast and large regular wire cages will collapse under the weight of them. I built a trellis structure out of furring strips for support. And they taste great! The plant on the left is a Better Boy - the other 2 are Originals.

I'm very impressed with my Tomato Plant
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time receiving plants through the mail. I wasn't sure how they would do it, but the plants were packaged perfectly. They arrived in a nice sturdy cardboard box inside they were packaged in these very sturdy cute containers. I didn't plant them immediately, instead, I put them in medium sized plastic pots and set them outside. With the hot summers in the southeast, sometimes I would come home and they would be wilted, but once I watered them, they would spruce back up. Eventually, I built a raised garden bed and placed my tomato plants in their new home. They are gorgeous and growing fast! I will definitely be a return customer! They are super healthy. I highly recommend these plants and will be purchasing more to fill my raised garden bed.

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this for more than a month, it started small and now he is blooming and starting to have some flowers and soon turn into a tomato and I can’t wait for that to happen. Just enough sun and water and it is perfect. Highly recommended!

Rounding Perfection
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Better Boy Tomato plant is growing perfect. I can't wait to harvest the red round smooth meaty tomatoes. Sliced to perfection they will be awesome on a freshly made bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich.

Super taste!
I bought these last year and they were so delicious and productive that I bought more this year for my little raised bed garden. The fruits were perfect sized for slicing. We always use Tomato Tone to feed them and I think that really gives them an extra boost. I ordered online last year and again this year. The plants arrive very well packaged and healthy looking.

Not too successful - Arizona March/April /May
Planted according to instructions.. Decided to moderate "direct sun" mandate for Hot AZ. About 2 weeks into growth, plant were wilting.. Repotted them in potting soil so they could be moved to accommodate the morning sun only.. With adequate watering, some 50% of plants began to wilt leaving only 3 out of 10 actually flowering.. The biggest plant is now 2' tall but still no sign of fruit.. So it seems I did something wrong..!!

So delicious
This was our first time planting anything and it was so easy to do. We got a very plentiful harvest of juicy plump tomatoes. So many that we were constantly giving them away to neighbors, friends and coworkers. We started with 3 of those small containers from The Home Depot, put them in a small dirt area along a wall, 3 plants there was too much because they overwhelmed each other and even like that they grew over 6 feet tall. Our plants have constantly produces large very flavorful tomatoes. We didn’t fertilize or mulch them but will definitely only put 2 down next year and mulch to help retain the water better. This tomatoe variety is def a keeper in our tiny garden. Added a picture showing how overgrown they have gotten, currently waiting for these to ripen. Thank you Bonnie for the better boy.

My Go To Tomato For Braggin' Rights
I've planted Better Boy Tomatoes from Bonnie for the past nineteen years and they've never let me down. Always big, tasty, and meaty. One slice covers the bun. No soggy bread like less meaty varieties. The full flavor can be experienced even on a fully loaded cheeseburger. All this combines to make this the greatest sandwich and burger tomato ever.
