They are a good size, not as large as some beefsteak tomatoes, about the size of a baseball. They are very meaty. I grew several tomato varieties in buckets on my patio. They did very well. They need a lot of water, but for some reason they seem to do better grown this way than in the ground. In the past, I also tried growing them in straw bales, and this worked great too, but as the summer progressed became very messy.
When I was a young child (around 4 or 5), we had a family friend, an older gentleman of Greek ethnicity. He introduced me to sliced tomatoes with a Greek olive oil, lightly poured over them (and very lightly salted). I can still remember the taste over 60+ yrs. ago. On occasion, I still eat them this way, especially with all the wonderful tomatoes we can purchase at this time of the year.
Goodness….?Are they as large as the look

We like them in a similar way, with just a touch of balsamic vinegar. If you add a piece of sliced mozzarella…heavenly.
