@Teddybearcop48 As best I could figure, this was a pink or red brandywine. They are fairly common and available at most seed suppliers. If you only need a few, I have some that I won't be using. They produce some big tomatoes, but the quantity is kinda low.
@The5starSTUNNNA As Shrek said about killing the dragon, "it's on my to-do list, ok?" Is that better? :-) Seriously though, I watched it again. It was my 6th video, just getting started. Hey, we all have to start somewhere.
@allotmentdiary Dan, that big mater was an accident, not planned. If you look at the earlier videos, you'll see it was not a very big plant, not much fruit. I do have 2 Delicious growing right now for the sole purpose of a huge mater. My idea is to remove all but one mater from each cluster. Kinda like having one pumpkin or melon per vine, to grow record size fruit. We'll see how it goes. Film at 11 !
@TheEDDIETHEBUCK haha, not too personal ! I mentioned this in the GH videos, it was from seed labeled Marglobe. Its definitely NOT a marglobe. From the shape of the mater, and the growth habits of the plant, its a Brandywine. Potato leaf, upright straight stems, low production but nice maters...I'm 95% sure its some type of Brandywine. I did save seeds and have 4 plants growing in one of my gardens to see if it can be duplicated.
It was transplanted around Nov. 18, give or take a day. So it was about 11 weeks old. Thats not too bad considering it was thru the dead of winter, where the days were so short.
Looks like the one that i grew

@anyusmoon1 Most definitely. Homegrown, right off the vine... just perfect. What they have in the store is a poor excuse for a tomato.
