Since we have become accustomed to annually propping up and tying up tomatoes, the giant Cream has absolutely not frightened us that care is needed. Of course, we also water this sort of tomato.Why did we choose this particular brand? Because our preference is that they are not too juicy, but drier. Our family doesn’t really like tomatoes to be watery. And these are opposite, sugary. Salads are very cool, or just for a sandwich, because they are large and in a cut just fit in size to the bread.
