Default Tips for growing disease free Toms

Interesting about taste and tomatoes. Tommy Toes won the big Burke's
Backyard tomato-off years and years ago. They are a smallish tomato, and I
confess to be underwhelmed by their taste. That said, I suspect the smaller
tomatoes will be the better bet for taste.
This last season in the US, my local (huge) supermarket had some of those
"on the vine" tomatoes on special. A bag of them still cost me 7 bucks...
they were attached to the stem/bunch thing, and the smell was exactly like
the tomatoes you grow at home. I chopped them up with onion and mixed them
with vinegar adn oil and salt and pepper. And, the juice was pink! quite a
strong pink too. I haven't seen that in years. They tasted divine. I wish I
knew what they were, probably came from Mexico, but they were exceptional.
