Actually, I'm not all that impressed with it; overall quality is a little lower than regular JB. More odd-shaped or small fruits, and like my experience with Chalk's, seems to crack (and decay) a little more easily. Can't tell any difference in taste, but since growing Pollock, I'm addicted to the way Pollock pumps out many many beautiful clean tomatoes.

Speaking of taste, the tomato selection for dinner last night was Djena Lee, and a tomato from a free giveaway determinate plant.
You can guess which I liked better.

Why would anyone grow insipid, tasteless tomates? I'm ashamed I wasted the space.
Why would you be ashamed of wasting the space?

last time I knew I had to grow a variety before I could conclude that it was insipid and tasteless.
