best-tasting tomatoes?
Thought I'd start a new thread. ;) I'm tired of buying whatever tomato
starts I find at Home Depot -- want to start my own. I like a very "tomatoey" flavor, rather than overly sweet. The "grape" tomatoes, for instance, are too sweet for me. What do youall consider the best-tasting tomatoes? Cindy |

My personal favorite is Brandywine, but they are not an easy tomato to grow down here in Austin. They are potato leaf tomatoes and are very tempermental where night temperatures are concerned. Anything over 70 at night and fruit will not fully develop, and potentially won't even set. |

In the Roma category, we think the Viva Italia is tops in both taste and
disease resistance. JEM "Cindy" wrote in message om... Thought I'd start a new thread. ;) I'm tired of buying whatever tomato starts I find at Home Depot -- want to start my own.

Cannot get Brandywine to set here -- too hot.
I really like the complex flavors of a more heat tolerate variety like "Costoluto Genovese". Yum... sweet with tart and real great tomato flavor. Best tomato juice too. I also like the ruffled scalloped slices on the plate from the pumpkin shape. A&M uses it as a breeder for hot weather tolerant tomato hybrids like "Merced". Will be trying "Purple Calabash" and "Ananas Noire" (purple, green, orange and yellow) with complex flavors also this year.

Last Freeze?
Is the coast clear? Have we had our last freeze yet? I know we can prune roses after Valentines Day. |
