    I don't think that was the situation here though, because I grew a couple 
of other large beefsteak tomatoes last year and they grew to be very large. 
The alleged Big Beefs were all perfectly round and about 6-8 pounces. They 
didn't match the description at all. Um...certainly Walmart couldn't have 
mixed up the tabs in their nursery? <wink...>
