Ok, so this year is my first attempt to grow this variety of this non-gmo tomato... behold THE BEEFSTEAK!!!!
Ok, ok I also thought they were bigger too... however the size, it tasted wonderful! I first took a slice and ate it, then I used the rest to make a salsa. Hmmmm good.
Hi @engineerprepper, that looks delicious. We're just getting our first small cherry tomatoes, but nothing like that.

Hey, @pennsif The only thing I have done, was to feed the plants with a tablespoon of epson salt every 2 weeks. I was also surprised that they came out this pretty.

I've just learnt about Epsom Salts - I believe it adds magnesium to the tomatoes which they sometimes lack. Did you just add the Epsom Salts neat as the powder or did you mix in water to apply?

I just spreaded the salt on top of the soil a few inches away from the stalk. That way it will slowly with watering and rain get to the roots.

I'm jealous. I can't wait for mine to start. I've been craving home grown tomatoes all winter and spring long.

Beefsteak! My favorite tomato, put it on a burger and there is nothing better...except for maybe some cheese and bacon, but veggiewise can't be beat.
