I agree with another responder ... I can take or leave Sungold. I grow it to give away.
Every year my husband and I host an informal tomato tasting. I make up sheets with the names and a little history of each tomato, with space for ratings and notes. The format is just like a wine tasting; water and plain crackers on the table along with an assortment of salts. I slice each tomato just before passing it around, and we taste first without salt then with. I put out a bunch of finger food afterwards plus the adult beverages so folks can eat, chat and finish filling out the sheets. People fight over their favorites to take home. It’s big fun. Cherokee Purple rates highly, as does Chocolate Amazon. They are always amazed by the GWR varieties. A couple of surprises were Lime Green Salad and Tim’s Black Ruffles. I love them both but never thought others would. Pics are of last year’s event ... staging beforehand and filling out sheets after. |
