Stupice is great! It's a small tomato, a little over 1 inch, but puts
out like "gang busters". The flavor is a little more tart than cherry
tomatoes but it's great for eating out of hand while puttering around in
the patch. This year I'll be trying the "Black Krim" and "Druzba", I
like tomatoes that are not as sweet as most of today's varieties.

Couldn't agree more about Stupice. A lot of mine never made it out of
the garden does anyone else garden with a salt and pepper shaker set
in their pockets? Another excellent less sweet/more tart tasting
tomato for me was Mortgage Lifter. Black Krim tended to be fussy about
watering, tends to crack if the soil is not kept evenly moist. I
thought the flavor on the bland side, but the fruit was pretty and drew
many comments from visitors.

I'm still looking for a good-tasting tomato with medium-to-large fruit
that will produce well up here in Minnesota. The summers are usually
hot and humid and very short. Occasionally a summer will be cool. Most
tomatoes don't ripen up here until September. First frost is mighty
early.

Best regards,
