I think that may have been a little too green. Did it blush?
I let my Dwarf Summertime green get a little bit of gold to the bottom,or about as soft as a Cherokee Purple. |

Charley, I would think the tastes are because of all the rain we got back in May. I'm guessing you got a lot of rain like we did between Waco and Fort Worth back in May. I know that's a little north of you.
May is the most important month for gardeners in our area. That is when the plants start to grow and become strong. Our gardens got stunted in the most important stages because of the flooding rains. I don't know about your garden, but mine suffered because of what I wrote above. I live 17 miles north of Hillsboro, TX. |

this was my best tasting dark of the year margarets curtian.the bottom of the tomatoe had a mexican food taste to it hard to explain and the core was melony taste then closer to the top more of the clasic black tomato flavor sweet rich complex lots of flavors going on in this one.

Ditto on the Prudens purple, every tomato I have on that plant has been near a pound or bigger. The taste so far is nothing compared to my blacks and the SOO.
