I’ve noticed that beefsteak tomatoes don’t always come out ribbed for me. Some are globe shaped. Even on a single plant. I have no idea what the causes might be.

Also gotta keep in mind that pics on the web aren’t going to be the same as real life. You’re looking at one tomato out of who knows how many that looked good to upload.

Seed companies, especially Baker Creek are guilty of that.

Sure, you can put $20(not including labor) of care into a single plant and get something amazing but are you trying to growing food, trying to win a prize at the fair or trying to sell seeds?

Interesting thanks. A friend shared this site with me the info is pretty good.

Our garden is not huge about 20 tomato plants so yes they get fed and watered well. We also use Chicken Soup for the Soil and have for six or so years. It is highly concentrated, mix with water, we treat the young plants after planting and once a month during the summer.
