Had absolutely huge (looked like small red pumpkins) dark red toms-very light weight for their size although they didn't have hollow locules. Some of them
must have been 6" wide. They had about the weakest taste of any tomato
I've ever grown. Pulled the plant today-it had 3 almost perfect red giants on it. I couldn't bring myself to give them away so gave them to Chance the
horse who usually loves tomatoes. He took one bite out of the most beautiful
and then walked out to the pasture. I hope others will weigh in on the taste.
Loved your blossom, though, I'd grow it again if I could have blossoms like those!!
Thanks for deciding to share your honest opinion, Darlene. You know I'm going to try to reduce my numbers drastically next year. It's not a good sign that neither you nor your tomato-loving pal wanted to eat these.
