This is my second year growing the Grinch. Last year I got a late start and only got to harvest a couple before frost. This year Im having much better results. I got one super early tomato and then a bunch of flowers that didnt produce fruit (thanks, heat dome), but now my plants have so many huge fruits that the branches cant hold the weight without support. Many are double or triple blossoms. I find the description of the flavor to be right on. I got antsy and picked a couple too early. They were firm and hadnt yet developed a fullness of flavor, but a quick saut fixed that. They made an excellent pasta sauce and completely outshone the store bought tomatoes involved. I wish they didnt take so long to ripen, but thats my fault for not paying attention to the days to maturity. Next year Ill get an even earlier start.
