These plants take a bit to acclimate to your specific area and climate. Save some seeds at the end of the year for next years crop. This year I had to buy more seed to *freshen* up my seed. I just mixed the two together to plant. So far, I am getting some really nice plants, they get tall so be ready to stake or tie up. We use the *french weave* concept to have the vines stand up. Sometimes actually having to another stake in next to a tomato that has grown wildly tall. The fruits resemble a Roma. The flesh is firm with a lot of meat, not so much water.The taste is real good, not to sweet or too bitter, just right for sauce. THere are few seeds, so when I save seed, I put aside about 5 tomatoes(for me, you may want more), let them over ripe while keeping them safe from intruders. The plant itself produces loads of tomatoes, often ripening at different times. So what I learned from my mom, is to wash, core and freeze, until you have enough for your canning pleasure. My freezer gets overflowing with bags of tomatoes. I would definitely recommend this type of tomato to anyone
