Every body knows that home grown vine ripened tomatoes are way better than
anything store bought.
The question is out of all the tomatoes you grow at home which one is your
favorite?

Here's mine:
Care to guess the name of this tomato?

This is the first tomato I could classify as wow, excellent, delicious, or
very tasty.
The color and texture show some heirloom qualities.

My current favorites are Yellow Brandywine and Atchins, I raised
a lot of Black Krim and Cherokee purple this year but found them
too grainy textured for my taste.

I believe that the Yellow Brandywine is the best tomato I have ever
eaten, however they are not very good for canning.

I'm a fan of First Ladies and Bradley's - grown by seed, not the store
bought plants that aren't really Bradley's anymore.

My current favorite is a Roma, as that's what's producing in my
garden.
