Positive	Grow_Pittsburgh	On Jul 22, 2010, Grow_Pittsburgh from Pittsburgh, PA wrote: There is no doubt in my mind I will grow this tomato again next year. My 1st fully ripe tomato was in 57 days. Awesome flavor the best I have every eaten for a super early tomato. I would put it side by side with some of the best orange late season tomatoes out there. It's a little smaller tomato but one larger tomato sliced up is plenty for a BLT. It has a thin skin and is very juice and meaty flesh very little seeds. The plant is strong and dark green. I only had a couple of the lower leaves turn yellow early in the season. Once I removed those everything else was perfect. It is about 30” tall plant that will need staked because it produces a lot of tomatoes per plant.
