Flavor-wise they are just OK, nothing to brag about.

Hi, Carol- thanks for sharing your experience. The name kept sounding familiar to me and I finally realized that I grew GN once quite a few years ago before I kept much in the way of records. What you describe is what I remember also, along with the fact that I think the fruits split like crazy with the least bit of rain.
I've got 6 varieties coming that will be fun to plant early and maybe help me to combat my cabin fever a bit, as well as to give us some early salad tomatoes.
Hope everything goes well for you this year!
