In case you're easily romanced by catalog descriptions (as I was this
season), don't fall for "Fourth of July", from Burpee. Utterly
tasteless. Snore.............

That was my experience, too. But my dad grows them every year and his
taste great. We live about 25 miles apart in upstate NY- same
zone, but my garden is primarily sand & his is primarily clay.

For me, this is the first year I've tried Scotia -- and they are very
tastey. In mid June I thought I'd get some by July 4, but then the
monsoons arrived & it was July 20th before I ate one. The six
plants have given me a few 2-3 inch tomatoes every day since. Very
juicey & full of flavor.

As long as they don't taste like Haggis...

No, but last year's zucchini did. Blech.
