Two sandwiches:>)
I had two tomato sandwiches today, one from Cherokee Purple and the other from Brandywine.
I found the Cherokee Purple sandwich to be far superior to the Brandywine. I don't understand what all of the hoopla is about with Brandywine. I found them to be sour and tart with hardly any tomato taste. I have found many variety's that do much better down here to be much better in taste. Mexico and Kellogg's breakfast to be two of them. They have a much better tomato taste and not as tart. Last night some critter must have liked Brandywine because it ate a 1 pounder right off the plant down to the nub. Its so dry right now that I think they are thirsty and I have a lot of armadillo activity this year. Not like last year when I didn't have any armadillos in the yard. If I have to sacrifice a tomato the make a critter happy then so be it. Worth |
