| Nice medium sized round tomatoes with no yellow shoulders. Good disease resistance and yield. Started to see a bit of leaf curl and blight in late Aug/Sep, but main summer months were very good. Taste OK but not as good as heirlooms |

| Good yield and nice flavor. Slow to mature but fruit was sized nicely and not too acidic. There was a little Septoria leaf spot late in the season. |

| We had a difficult year between extreme heat and lack of precipitation combined with COVID restrictions, the garden did not get the attention it normally would. The tomatoes were late to come on. Once they started producing there was a good amount of fruit. The flavor was ok. I feel there are many other tomatoes that are more flavorful. |

| Beautiful tomato but I have to admit I never got the chance to taste it when ripe as the chipmunks beat me to it every time. It was the preferred tomato of the chipmunks. Plants produced late, not sure if it was weather related, it was a very hot summer. Not very productive either but would try again, as possibly weather was the cause. |

| Vigorous plant produced lots of big tomatoes. Good flavor. Some Septoria leaf spot. No blossom end rot. Produced over several weeks, so "determinate" might not really be appropriate. |

| So I grew Galahad this year (2020). I put in about 20 plants and they have done very well for me this season. Last year I lost every tomato plant due to very cold, wet, bluster weather for May and the first half of June. It was in the high 30\'s here in May and the soil just wasnt warm enough to plant. Most of the fruit this year on the Galahads was about 3 " to 3.5 " . It didnt start ripening until mid August though. The plants were disease free until the first week of September when we had several cold nights in the mid 40s. No They are showing Septoria leaf spot and some Anthracnose on the tomatoes, but only a few. Overall, this has been a good crop. I have canned 27 quarts of Tomato sauce and expect another dozen in a week as I wait for the next batch of fruit to ripen. The only other tomato that has done ok for me this year was Mountain Fresh Plus, which has some nice 3.5 " fruits. The Mountain Majesty, Summer Pic, and most of the Cedro got a lot of disease. The Mountain Vineyard Cherry tomatoes did very well until Sept 1st when they also got a lot of Septoria leaf spot and fell apart. |

| We just harvested our first ripe Galahad in mid August. The flavor was fantastic- really rich and nuanced, with a satisfying balance of sweetness and acidity. However, every single tomato on our plants has blossom end rot. This has been an extremely dry year but the plants are mulched well and watered regularly. This is one delicious tomato but between the lateness of fruiting and it\'s propensity for blossom end rot, we will probably not grow it again. |

| Unfortunately, we had critters that ate the two tomatoes we had growing off the plant. I would have liked to have seen more than two tomatoes produced, the plant didn\'t grow that well. |
