I'm on a Library computer right now (don't ask!!!) but when I get
computer fixed I'll post the varieties of tomato plants I bought
at nabe nursery, which are doing fine. Interestingly, the plant
person who helped me choose "sharp, acid" -- which has been my
quest -- noted that most customers want "sweet"??!!
Many people seem to assiciate acidic tomatoes to with heartburn.
I assume that is part of why the breeding trend has been toward
lower acid types.
I don't think my varieties are considered low acid, but I haven't
looked into it. I just know what I like. I pressure can the sauces,
so it is fine if they are low acid.
