WOW! This plant is so vigorous that I was sure that my neighbor across the street was going to be harvesting tomatoes from MY plant. I planted this thing in a pot but I am sure that the roots have broken through. The note on this plant is that they are difficult to germinate but I have 6 others already going. Terrific yield, terrific taste, I am running out of tomato recipes.
