| Planted a number of these last summer, thinking they were what I'd gotten in my CSA box the year before. Not planting again this year. The plants did well, set plenty of fruit. Were decently flavored but more prone to bottom end rot than my other tomatoes, and also more susceptible to cracking. Fine flavor, but not amazing, and the texture seemed mealy or something compared to some of my other tomatoes. |
