| These are good enough for flavor, but are rather no different than modern hybrids. I view this as a gimic tomatoe like a circus act. It produces loads of fruit, is reliable and sprouts quickly from seed, but when the flavor is not any better than the majority of the heirloom reds and only equal to the hybrids in not being that great it just looses allot of reasons to grow it. My seeds were free from Baker Creek and I was not that impressed as I grow tomatoes for flavor quality and not for green and yellow stripes. They are reliable and yeild well, but man does not live on that alone. |
