I'm on a Library computer right now (don't ask!!!) but when I get

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.

Here at last is report on the four varieties I planted after consulting with helpful plant guy at my nursery to find "sharp, acid" varieties.

I didn't specify "heirloom" or "organic" but 3 out of 4 fit that bill.

Black Krim - heirloom - organic

Brandywine - heirloom organic

Old German - heirloom - organic

Black Zebra

After [censored] years of planting the tried&true varieties offered for this area, it will be VERY interesting to see how these turn out.

Anybody know if the ones with "black" in the name are really "black"?

TIA for any feedback.
