The Better Boy tomato is a large hybrid tomato variety beloved by gardeners for its high yields and delicious flavor. These meaty, smoothed-skinned, bright red tomatoes can weigh up to 16 ounces each, making them perfect for sandwiches, salads, and cooking. Better Boy tomatoes are known as great slicers and for their balanced flavor — not too sweet, not too acidic — and their resistance to common tomato diseases like verticillium and fusarium wilts. Indeterminate, they're easy to grow in any sunny garden or large patio pot, and require regular watering and support from stakes or cages to ensure proper fruiting. To care for your three new Better Boy tomato plants, make sure they receive at least one inch of water per week and six hours or more of direct sun each day. Plant in the garden, a raised garden, or patio container. Be sure to offer a large enough pot and place it in a full-sun location. Loamy, well-draining soil is preferred. Feed regularly as directed. Mulch well. Seventy to seventy-five days to harvest.
