This was our first year with the Redfield Beauty tomatoes. Excellent germination and fast growth (in my heated greenhouse).
I planted 6 Redfields in the garden mid-May and we've enjoyed them fresh, in sauces, and have also been canning them. We grow in Virginia, in organic soil in raised beds. The plants are still producing very well (Aug 20).
These are the most uniform slicing tomatoes I've grown in all of my years growing tomatoes. The tomatoes have given us excellent yield, and they really are a beauty -- very round, pink-red in color, and are about 3.5 inches in diameter. These tomatoes are very easy to core and need little or no bottom trim before using.
This year we have had more than ample rain so some of these tomatoes split along the top because we leave the tomatoes on the vine until ripe. Easy to prevent, just pick the nearly ripe tomatoes before rainfall....for us this year, that's been nearly every day.
