Celebrity Hybrid?
I'm growing Celebrity Hybrid tomatoes. Couple questions, What are some things I should know about growing this particular tomato and How good is the overall product? Were growing to eat these obviously and just wondering if these are a tomato that is worth growing.

I am a fan of the Celebrity tomato. Nice size, great taste (although I think taste comes from the soil, and not so much from the variety.....no scientific proof to that, though). They are just smaller than the Better Boy, a bunch get ripe at one time...great for freezing, canning, or making a big pot of gumbo.
Celebrity is a disease resistant determinate tomato and produces evenly red round ripe fruit. It is very often the tomato that you find in the supermarket. It is a good all around tomato, but does not have a really rich flavor.
Because it is a determinate, it will tend to produce most of the tomatoes all at once.
