didn't taste quite as well!

This year, I thought Dester's Amish (I think Larry Pierce changed the name on
the website to Dester's) was the best tasting tomato I grew. The Fish Lake
Oxheart you sent me did very well; lot's of nice sized hearts with very good flavor-very sweet! People loved getting them as oxhearts are quite the novelty around here. Darlene
Thanks! I noticed less flavor this year in the Fish Lake Oxhearts. Glad you were able to share them with happy recipients. Because I regrew favorites from the past 2 years, I was able to experience how the taste of a variety change from year to year- not always a good thing.
