FREE: Rutger Tomato Seeds, 30

Yep. Keep them dry and clean in paper or wax paper. store them where there's no chance they'll get wet. Kitchens are not the best seed storage places, for example, because of steam in the air and possible spills. You should have no problem.

They grow to about 5 ft, maybe 6 ft tops in ideal conditions, I think.

When you're ready to plant, I would suggest googling to get the best practices and information. Tomatoes can be picky and also different varieties might have their own special considerations. Most tomatoes are happy with consistent watering, low to moderate fertilization, and calcium in the soil. They love all day sun, but not high heat. If you plant them in five gallon buckets, you have the advantage of moving the plants to shadier spots during heat waves in the summer. If you plant them in the ground, you have the advantage of ground level soil retaining water where pots dry out quickly. (I have tomato plants in both pots and the ground this year. So far, the potted plants are growing bigger than the one in the ground, but probably only because of better soil.)

I think so. Ours have yet to produce. But they're not likely to be monster tomatoes without some special growing methods. Rutgers were developed for uniform size and shape.

If you want monster tomatoes, there's a bunch of great heirloom varieties. Google 'large tomato variety'. The Beefsteak tomato gets big if conditions are fair to good, and it's a popular tomato that you can find seeds for anywhere. But there is a black/purple tomato that gets huge and is very tasty, the kind that one slice covers the whole sandwich plus hangs over. Yum! Don't remember which variety, but google should give you plenty to browse through. :)
