Hi Larry,
Storm-ravaged here today. I feel excited and on edge after walking to work.
I really enjoyed growing Livingston's Favorite and it's back again this year. But perhaps not for the reasons pertaining to this thread.
Livingston's Favorite was a find for me that was a bit like Red Brandywine (the real one from Dr Carolyn), Nepal and perhaps even Picardy for beloved Earl.
It was a mainstream big cropper of medium-sized tasty very-good flavoured tomatoes. Dynamic? Nup. Acid? Yes, more in that spectrum of tastes. Like ye old-fashioned tomato taste.
Special? Only in so far as it was remarkably reliable with a great combination of the many attributes I look for in a backyard tomato — from the all-important taste to productiviity, through disease resistance to size, and shelf life and duration of production.
With Livingston's Favourite I know I will have plenty of medium red maters on my counter. No questions about that. Slice 'em, dice 'em, eat 'em raw or chuck them on the barbie to have with a steak. They taste real good any ol' way. And each day more are waiting.
Thumbs up.
Hope this helps.
Grub
