So what is the short course on growing giant tomatoes? what date would you plant a seed for an end of September weigh-off. when would you polinate, how do you prune, etc.

1.there is no short course on growing giant tomatoes.
2 the rest of you question does not provide enough info to give answers to your questions.
3. would give you more info but you will have to do the research yourself it will take while.

Dale at at this address;

http://www.gianttomatoseeds.com/growing_tomatoes.html

Has compiled everything you need to know about growing the beasts.

He also sells giant tomato seeds which many here including myself have purchased from him.

Might I also suggest " Growing Giant Tomatoes" written by Dr. Marv Meisner who also frequents this board.

You can find it on Amazon here;

http://www.amazon.com/Giant-Tomatoes-Marvin-H-Meisner/dp/0975515314/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363272353&sr=8-1&keywords=growing+giant+tomatoes+book

It is the definitive guide for growing giant tomatoes.

I own it and it has benefited me to no end.

It's well worth purchasing.
