Really good Reds
Already plotting for next year, I've discovered I have various tomatoes I either love already or want to try - but almost none of them are red. I have Pineapple, several blacks, some pinks... but not enough good 'ol reds.
I usually do a few hybrids, just in case something goes wrong - Delicious and Supersteak weren't bad, and I'd like to try Big Beef. Red Brandywine was ok too - but small. This is a bad hot year though, so probably not a fair trial. Any nice reds that anyone particularly recommends? I don't care if they're huge, just slicers and tasty. Also, I like to have a trio of cherry tomatoes that both taste good, and look pretty together. So far I have Black Cherry and Sungold for sure. I've been growing red pear, and they're fine - but I would consider an alternative. I like the size of red pear, and of course they're cute. But - any alternatives I should consider, that are maybe a bit more tasty? |
