Hi friends,
Do you ever heard about Heirloom tomatoes?
Snob value? g

Seriously tho' I know what you mean. I've heard good things about the
flavor of heirlooms.

Vine ripe tomatoes of any variety tho' are better than any store bought
ones by _yards_.
Almost any home grown tomato is better than those red things in the store.


Yep!


A couple of years ago, in the dead of winter, I was perusing the grocery
store tomatoes and one variety actually smelled like a tomato. They
were the bright orange colored tennis-ball sized tomatoes with the stems
attached. (the yellow and the red tomatoes just like them had no smell,
just like the Roma, "greenhouse", and generic slicing tomatoes.) I
bought a few and made pico de gallo with them, saving some of the seeds.
They were actually good! I planted them in my garden the next year and
they were good fresh too, but my family wouldn't eat them because they
were the wrong color.

I should probably plant "Black Krim" or "Green Moldovan" next year.
