Thanks, everyone. It was a good day at market.

I tried my first Rebelski....blech. I don't like it at all. It has a mealy texture. I'm glad I only grew one plant. (thank you to the generous person who shared it with me, though)

Mountain Fresh was surprisingly tasty. I can see it on the same flavor level as Big Beef or Jet Star. The one I ate did have some uneven ripening, possibly from fusarium stressing the plant.

Taos Trail was very good, too. Someone on here gave me the seeds, and I can remember them saying it was their main tomato for their farm. It came from a volunteer. For a market grower looking for an OP variety, this might be the best one I have tried. Tomatoes are round and perfect-looking. They are slightly firm, but not as much as hybrids. The plant is a compact grower, which I could see making it easier to have a lot of them. If not for the compact growth, Taos Trail could pass for Big Beef OP. Flavor is as good as Big Beef, if not better.
