Ttree Bottom Yellow... Yummy yellow.. Good production
Not sure if these guys will make a return :
German Johnson. Potato LF.... 1st year growing.. spectacular flavor!! Flavor packed a real punch.. The fruit were mid size to small.. ripened slowly.. and erratically..
Big Beef... Nice sized round uniform red fruit. Good production.. lacks flavor for me.. but better than winter store bought hybrid tomatoes.
Dester... Nice tomato but the flavor did not peak until later in the season.
Making room for a few new tomatoes to try, so dropping these favorite reliablle , yummy tomatoes. Will be back again in future...
