Any self respecting giant tomato grower should have at least one Big Zac in their mix of plants. Big Zac is the mother of most. Growing the offspring without having their mother in the patch just doesn't seem right. Marv

As of yet of my first year of growing season I have no lineup of maters yet. Hard finding good seeds. :(
Only maters so far are pink brandywines I have been growing since I was 16. Been saving seeds off them plants for a long time lol

Here's my tentative lineup for my 2'X33' tomato bed:

Delicious (7.33 Hunt 2010)
Big Zac (7.18 Harp 2009)
Big Zac (3.94 Pennington 2010)
Big Zac? (3.59 Perry 2009)
Church (3.36 Perry 2008)
Big Zac (3.308 Diaz 2010)
Big Zac (2.762 Thurber 2010)
Church (2.480 Thurber 2010)
Belmonte (1.824 Thurber 2010)
Black Mountain Pink (Commercial source)

I'll be testing out dozens of other varieties that have been claimed to reach 2+ lbs. I'll be vigilant for megablooms and report the more interesting observations.

also 4.3 Shymanski sibbed 7.18 Harp,Is that a Big Zac Marv??

Actually Big Zac is really Big Zac F1 and Nick Harp 7.18 is a Big Zac F5 seed. Things are getting more and more confusing with each year of growing the Big Zac F1 offspring by many different people attaching their name to the seeds with any real geneology. Marv

without any real geneology is what I meant
