Hutcheson offers this opinion on a few tomato variet- ies he has grown:
Big Boy and Better Boy. These tomatoes are tasty, but not highly disease resistant.
Big boy
Early Girl. This variety produces early, but isn’t as tasty as Big Boy and Better Boy.
Better boy
Early girl
BHN 444. While these tomatoes aren’t very flavorful, they are very resistant to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and other diseases.
BHN 444
Brandywine. This plant is good overall, but it fruits late in the season.
Brandywine
Rutgers. This tomato variety is Hutcheson’s overall favorite. It’s very flavorful and acidic.
Rutger
Personally, Hutcheson has had bad luck growing heir- loom tomatoes. “I tried several varieties and they did terrible,” he said. “I didn’t like my results at all but can’t wait to try them again.”
