Chef's Choice tomatoes

[gdaddybill]

Anyone growing Chef's Choice Pink or Chef's Choice Green tomatoes. I had the gold one last year and it was very vigorous and productive but in a wet year the flavor was modest. So much for the "Chef's Opinion".

Looked great in a fresh salsa though. I have all three this year--no fruit yet.

I have the orange going right now. I've been giving the plants to my stepdad as the orange tomato of his market hybrids.

Where did you get the green seeds? I saw them on the AARS site, but I haven't seen the seeds offered anywhere.

Totallytomato.com offers all 3..

Green

Pink

Orange

I grew Orange for the first time last season and liked it, I'm growing Orange again this season but will wait till next year to try Pink and Green.

interesting. I always buy from TT, but I didn't see that this year when I was ordering... maybe they hadn't released it yet when I ordered.

I'm excited for Chef's Choice Orange. It's gonna be hard to beat BHN-871's productivity

Chef's Choice Orange: 2015: productive, strong vine, survived a terrible season better than 90% of the other varieties, including two hybrids with extensive disease resistant claims, most fruit had extensive radial cracking, all tomatoes throughout season had good orange color but were basically tasteless with below average texture.

Travis, it rained so much on us last summer that I wonder if the flavor of the Chef's Choice was hurt by all the rain. I'm about an hour away from you, and last June was a 150+ year rain record here. Yellow and orange tomatoes seem to have their flavor hit the worst by weather that is too wet. I gave my stepdad a few plants for his garden. I will report back how the fruit tastes.

Chef's Choice Green wasn't in the catalog but was on the Totally Tomatoes website.
