Question by blackbelttree: How fast do Big Boy tomato plants grow?
I started 24 Big Boy tomato seedlings a couple of weeks ago. I’m not sure how fast they normally grow and what’s to be expected though. Anyone know?
I mean I would like to know how fast they will grow after sprouting

A question – google says ananas noire = black pineapple (makes sense since
ananas noire translates as black pineapple in French), but you consider
them to be different varieties?!?
What kind of camera do you use?
Late night tomato tasting…; )
Great Job.. I was wondering what all the tomatoes would look like when they
ripened and how they would taste. Can’t wait to see more video’s.
I actually paused the video to check on the one and only tomato in my
garden that is starting to ripen. I am in awe of your varieties.
I liked pink brandywine without salt and striped chocholate, which I said
was big rainbow…. sorry, I wasn’t thinking. and also, I got my seeds from
ebay. but i also recived them from fans that wanted me to try a new
variety. which if its heirloom im open for anything
Nice video ☻ And the varieties of tomatoes are very impressive!
I eat my fresh tomatoes with sugar not salt. this must be a new england
thing.
“world’s tiniest watermelon”… made me laugh. Thanks.
Everything looks great Luke!
How do you turn it into seeds? dry them out?
do you have ears under there?
Is there anyway you could post the results for salt and plain in a comment?
There was a lot of shifting near the end and I’m not familiar enough with
the looks of the tomatoes to know which is which.
its whole name is chocolate big rainbow which makes more sense.
sorry.
i think ill grow a zebra next year if i can find some seeds. thanks
why haven’t you grown your canteloupe and squash from your own seed
There it is : ) amazing taste test video. There’s some great stuff,
excellent descriptions.
ahh.. *cries*… TT^TT no wonder my pumpkin seems to stop growing and so
are my watermelons.. this makes me sooo sad.. is there anything i can do to
save them? more compost tea perhaps?
Very nice, I’ve been looking for a good tasting tomato to plant now at
least I have a good idea what to purchase. Thanks
I will have some for sale very shortly
via request.
I came back to this video when I was choosing tomato varieties for 2013 –
I think you grew two of
I’m not sure you realise, ananas noire is french for “black pineapple” –
but you also have a “black pineapple” tomato
the same varieties just with french/english names
they are different varieties, one is the original french heirloom, and one
is an americanized hybrid that was trasformed into an heirloom. both have
very similar origins, but as you can tell once cut, they are very different
in both growing styles, yield, flavor, color, pretty much everything! lol.
Luke I wanted to ask .. are you weighing the harvest or somehow checking
production ?
OK I just watched the whole thing again,lol,( im a glutton for punishment).
How many var. did you plant? Open to suggestions??? I think it would help
the viewers if you wrote the names of the tomatoes on little strips of
paper for your 1-10 system. I was surprized you didn’t like the bk trifle
maybe that one was bad ? Anyway I think like wine you should compare bk to
bk ,yellow to yellow and red to red, and do usage like ‘cooking tomatoes’,
all together. Still enjoyed seeing all the var.
The ones wth stripes look like they sparkle!!
They grow much faster in June, July, August than they do right now.
Growth rate is largely temperature dependent so… those hot months is where you get most of your growth.
Right now my tomatoes… (not Big Boy) have been in the ground about 4 weeks and have put on maybe 4-5 inches of growth and have started blossoming. I would call that pretty normal in my experience.
How much sun? How much water? What temperature? How close together?
Be very careful. I grew them once, and they got to be 7′ tall, fell over, and I lost 70% of the tomatoes. Buy determinate next near
If temps are warm you should be eating tomatoes 90 days after they get 1 ft. tall.
