BTW, there are plenty of other varieties that are med pinks that I like much better than ML, but the blurb that goes with it are so attractive that I'm convinced many folks grow it just for the story, which may or may not be true.

But as pink tomatoes go, I've never thought that ML of any strain, for there are others as well, is as good as many other large pinks.

What a pity that so many of you are going for the names of varieties you recognize b'c there's some good ones that no one has requested. No, I'm not going to list those separately, most can be found by Googling, I would imagine.

I'm sorta getting off topic here but...

Name a few. Come on just spit it out



Carolyn and others, please tell a life long Better Boy grower, who has really just discovered heirlooms only a few years ago, what medium to large pink do you like that's much better than ML. Variety to me was growing a Celebrity (darn good tomato).

I hope it's on this list. (incuded pink blacks) and I know most everyone loves BW.
