Don't fall for it, it's marketing BS!

There's nothing special about it.

That company as a very bad reputation.

Pick a good high producing heirloom/open-pollinated tomato...or even a hybrid, you'll be better off!

AlchemyAcres is right, we used to sell seeds for those in little plastic eggs when I worked at Frank's, they're bunk!

Thanks guys! I thought it sounded too good to be true, but you never know unless you ask.

Think we'll stick to Gurney Early Girl, Brandywine, and Mr. Stripey

I've been able to get tall tomato vines (indetermint) by picking off the suckers to the sides. One year I finally had to cut the top of the vine off because I couldn't reach it and didn't want to haul a ladder around.

But that's what worked really well for me.
