Kind of strange but my "Mortgage Lifter" last year was a bust---bland
flavor and splitting. It's a lot like in real estate-----it's location,
location, location. I used to grow a lot of tomatoes when I lived in
California and my old standby varieties just don't taste quite the same
here in Oklahoma.
The adverts for "Black Krim" said that it had a slight "salty" taste,
can't hardly wait to find out. Maybe my 8 inches of mulch will help the
cracking problem.

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.
