Tomato 'Brandywine' is one of the most beloved heirloom tomatoes, famous for its rich flavor and impressive, old-fashioned size. It’s been around since the late 1800s and remains a favorite among gardeners who appreciate homegrown taste over supermarket looks. Brandywine tomatoes are big, juicy, and full of real tomato flavor. The plants grow as sprawling vines that keep producing through the season.
The fruits are large — often over 1 pound each — with a slightly flattened, ribbed shape and a pink to rosy-red skin. Inside, the flesh is dense, creamy, and packed with an intense tomato flavor that balances sweetness and acidity. Because of their thin skins and soft texture, Brandywine tomatoes are best used fresh rather than stored. They’re perfect for slicing thick onto sandwiches, layering into salads, or just enjoying plain with a sprinkle of salt.
Compared to faster-growing hybrid tomatoes, Brandywine takes a little more patience. The vines grow tall — usually 6 to 8 feet — and need sturdy cages or stakes to support their weight. You might notice that the leaves look a bit different too; they’re broader and smoother, often described as “potato-leafed,” which helps distinguish Brandywine from other tomato varieties at a glance.
Even though Brandywine is grown mostly for its famous fruit, the plant itself has a lush, informal beauty that softens vegetable gardens and patios. If you can give it a full season and plenty of sun, it’ll repay you with some of the best-tasting tomatoes you’ll ever grow — a true reminder of why heirloom plants are so treasured.
-
Needs full sun, at least 6 to 8 hours a day, to grow strong vines and produce good-sized fruits. Without enough light, the plants stay small and struggle to set fruit.
Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry, aiming for steady moisture without soggy soil. Mulching helps hold in moisture and keeps the roots cooler during hot spells.
Grows well in average outdoor humidity but needs good air circulation to stay healthy. Crowded, wet conditions can invite fungal diseases like blight.
Likes it warm, ideally between 70–85°F. Since it’s sensitive to frost, only plant it outdoors once nighttime temperatures stay reliably above freezing. While tomatoes are generally grown as annuals and can be cultivated in USDA zones 3 through 11, the key factor is the length of the growing season and the average last frost date in your specific area. In cooler zones like 3 and 4, gardeners often start seeds indoors and use season-extending techniques to ensure a successful harvest.
Prefers rich, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.0 to 6.8). Adding compost or aged manure helps fuel strong vines and lots of flowers.
Feed about once a month during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer, or use a tomato-specific formula that's a little higher in phosphorus to boost flowering. Too much nitrogen will make the plant leafy but slow to fruit.
Ripe tomatoes are safe to eat, but the green parts — stems, leaves, and unripe green fruits — can be toxic if eaten. Keep plants where pets and kids can’t chew on them.

Exceptional
Format: Kindle
I think this an exciting entertaining story different from other fantasy reverse harmen story. I love the 1st book in this series and hope it continues to weave a story of friendship, love and disappointment as well as sadness. The cliffhanger was gripping and held you in suspense that waiting until the next book was released was almost too much. I’m so glad I waited to read this series until the majority of the books were released. Katie May and Quinn Arthur’s are wonderful writers and I’m looking forward to reading more from both of them.

I don’t mind a cliffhanger,
Format: Kindle
but I dropped at least one star because of the obnoxious gloating of the author after the cliffhanger.
Seriously - I don’t understand making your readers angry because you’re smug and expecting them to keep reading your books.
I was very definitely enjoying the series. Now I have a bad taste in my mouth and mixed feelings about continuing the series.

The series as a whole so far 5/25
Format: Kindle
I read reviews before going into this book and I don't agree with one of the more harsh ones on the main trigger she had. It is stated clearly in the forward and it wasn't as blase as it was made out to be. It definitely is touched on more and hasn't just been brushed off as the series goes
I definitely would recommend reading it. It's a good series just be for-warned
I like the series as a whole. The characters are awesome I adore the fmc shes cute and adorable but also a badass. Though there are a bunch of holes for her that I feel like just got left out.
The guys are interesting and shout out to yall for not making Gage a dragon. I'm tired of the broody ones who don't wanna talk aboit what they are being Dragons. Ki is my favorite
You can definitely tell if is written by 2 different people though because the phrasing just doesn't match up and wouldn't be something people that age says. And it flip flops between them.
I feel like there's substance without substance. We are 4 books in and we don't really know much back story on literally anyone more than right under surface deep.
There are definitely favorite MMCs which is kind of disappointing since some get shoved to the wayside. Specifically both of the best friends. They're basically useless and it's made obvious as the books go on. As well as all the men are ungodly self deprecating.
I enjoy the plot line for the most part like I said I enjoy the series its different and refreshing.
I do feel like the series is being dragged out though unfortunately. And the latest cliff hanger was just meh. So hopefully the next book is the last one.

Wow!
Format: Kindle
This book was awesome! Seraphina and her family have moved to a new town. Her family is a bit... odd. She grew up learning how to protect herself from people who might hurt her. Bloodshed is a daily occurrence with her brothers and parents during their practice sessions, and it’s all fun and games unless you need to hide a body.
Sera’s family is very close, and she’s been homeschooled most of her life. But in this new town she is going to start regular school as a senior at the local high school. Unfortunately, things at her school aren’t all they seem to be. Or perhaps more than they seem to be. Sera has her own demons to deal with, and she’s terrified her new friends will learn about her weird family and other issues and drop her like a rock. It turns out they have their own secrets as well.
This story ends on a bit of a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to read the next one! This book is well written and well edited. The heroine is spunky and has a great heart and wicked sense of humor.

Great start
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! It's funny but still deals with tough themes, like chronic illness, a serial killer on the loose, and a dash of self-harm. The guys are interesting and distinct, we don't know too much about them yet. It does end on a really terrible cliffhanger but on the bright side the next book is out and I believe the series is complete. I have enjoyed both of these authors separately and this is a great team up!
