Kellogg's Breakfast Tomato
Price: $2.95
SKU: 3401411In her book entitled, "100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Gardener," Dr. Carolyn Male had this to say, "There isn't another large orange beefsteak variety that I'd rather grow that Kellogg's Breakfast. The whopping taste of this mighty tomato is truly unequaled, and it's juicy and meaty at the same time."[1]

Fruit Color: Yellow
Special Groups: "Epic" Tomatoes
Harvest Timing: Late Season
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.

This tomato can handle the heat. Baseball size, lovely taste, balance in acid/sweet. Rivals Dr. Wyche. Good heirloom. Average production. Some disease resistance. Pretty color. 6-7feet. Going to grow next year.

There are a few tomato varieties I grow every season and Kellogg's is now on that list. Everything you would want from an Heirloom. Great flavor, production with the perfect ration of juice to solids.

The description sounded delicious, so I tried it. 100% germination for two years now. Solid, meaty and delicious for sandwiches or in a fresh pasta sauce. I will always grow this even though I shouldn't eat tomatoes.

And this is saying a great deal, considering my tomato garden did very well this season. This tomato produced very well and kept producing all the way into early October. This heirloom will become a part of my garden again next spring. I cannot wait.
