We did a blind taste test on 77 varieties, both heirlooms and hybrids. Each was identified by only a number, and after the tasting we were given a paper that matched our numbers to the names of the tomatoes. My two picks as the best tasting? Celebrity and Super Fantastic. Yes, I actually picked them over Brandywine and a bunch of other heirlooms! I posted about the experience, and the entire list of varieties tasted here:<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/k8la5oxAnnie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-24850985448551226682013-09-17T08:22:19.000-04:002013-09-17T08:22:19.000-04:00I don't have as much problems with Heirloom to...I don't have as much problems with Heirloom tomatoes as I do with cucumbers here in T.O I loose every year to powdery mildew.

Though I rarely get one (due to my short season) , I plant them every year. <br /><br />I'm still trying to find a hybrid that tastes good to me. Hubby likes Jetstar. I despise their watery insides. But the taste is "passable".Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-36265068216441452802013-09-16T22:26:26.340-04:002013-09-16T22:26:26.340-04:00I have difficult in growing heirloom tomatoes, the...I have difficult in growing heirloom tomatoes, they either don't produce or they died of diseases.

Besides their susceptibility to disease, they tend to be shy producers of tomatoes. You could try experimenting with grafted plants. The grafting grants some resistance to soil-borne disease but is useless for air-borne diseases like late blight. A hybrid you might check out is Big Beef. A lot of people praise it.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-7737104040775651162013-09-16T21:27:06.869-04:002013-09-16T21:27:06.869-04:00Those Tiger's Eye beans sure look beautiful!

My tomatoes always develop disease early on and I can't say I've noticed a whole lot of difference between the two types. Despite the disease, my Roma plants produced a lot of good sized healthy paste tomatoes this year.nutmeg gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497061826533988682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-62834115702163257332013-09-16T17:59:44.583-04:002013-09-16T17:59:44.583-04:00Your harvest looks beautiful!

All of my (8 plants) Celebrity died, but 3 of my four Super Fantastic grew well and disease free. I still think the best tasting were the Brandywines you sent, as well as Kellogg's Breakfast. I'm tempted to try heirlooms again, but go back to planting them in the bottomless buckets.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.com
