I just picked several softball sized German Pink tomatoes from my hoop house, which we used for our first blt s of the summer.
![]() They were fantastic tasting. Sweet tomato rich flavor, but my wife complained that she had to cut out a large corky fibrous core out of them. It did waste a portion of the tomatoes. ![]() What causes this? Is there something I can do? ![]() ![]() Even with the corky parts, it was far better tasting than the f1 hoop house variety I grew last year. |

Thanks Ted, This is my first try at heirloom tomatoes, so I am in that trial and error stage, looking for the varieties that I like. I only am growing German Pink, Brandy Wine, and Cherokee Purple ( which I really like ). I now see the value of trying a lot of different types so as to weed out the ones that I don't like.
