Default Rockvale Taste Test '07 - The Top 3

Today marked the second annual Rockvale Taste Test. 15 people, 3 of whom grow out my plants every year, were given the choice of 13 varieties to rate. They were as follows:

Brandywine Sudduth's
Delicious
Mortgage Lifter
Cuostralee
Polish C
Earl's Faux
Mortgage Lifter Bi-Color
Berkeley Tie-Dye
Golden Queen USDA Strain
Granny Cantrell's German Red
Big Red
Ashleigh
RL Brandywine Cross

The winners were:

1. Mortgage Lifter (source TGS)
2. tie Delicious (Weeks') and Cuostralee (TGS)
3. Berkeley Tie-Dye (from Bigcheef)

Participants were shown numbered entries and recorded their favorites on a paper ballot. ML has been really great this year. The texture is what makes it special. Some of the tomatoes coming in now after a 5 week drought and heat wave are hard and tough but ML is still fine.
