- Reta M.MN, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars9/5/25Good harvest, healthy plants
I grew 2 Red Pride plants and 2 Mountain Merit plants and did not always separate the harvests. All I can say is that both varieties stayed healthy and strong and produced a good quantity of large meaty fruits. There are still some good-sized green tomatoes on the plants (in early Sept). I expect them to ripen sufficiently in the next 2 weeks so that I can finish them off in the house. The picture shows part of the harvest (mountain merit and red pride)!!

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with our Red Pride Bush Tomato Seeds! We absolutely love hearing from gardeners who grow multiple varieties side by side - what a great way to compare and maximize your harvest potential!
It sounds like both the Red Pride and Mountain Merit plants really delivered for you with those healthy, strong plants producing all those large, meaty fruits throughout the season. There's something so satisfying about having plants that just keep producing right into early fall!
We love that you're planning to finish ripening those green tomatoes indoors - such a smart way to extend the harvest and make sure nothing goes to waste. Thanks for sharing that great harvest photo too - it really shows off just how productive these varieties can be!
Keep on growing 🌻️
