Two sandwiches:>)

Newbie or lifetime veteran we are all entitled to our "OPINION" on how much we enjoy a tomato. Cherokee Purple absolutely blows Brandywine away as far as value given for the garden space for me. But I will always grow one or three Brandywine to keep my wife interested until she gets a new favorite.(She is starting to get keen on Greens and Golds) .

Regionaly we are not even halfway done for the year.
Worth, Duajones and I will be enjoying tomato sandwiches well into october and maybe november until we have to rescue greenies from frost. which won't bother us until mid november to December.

The first Brandywine I tasted was fantastic. It had alot of high expectations going for it. It was my first Tomato I had started from seed, it was my first "Heirloom" It was my first Potato leaf, it was my first Pink. That flavor and texture is forever in the imprint that brought me from a gardener dabbling with a few tomatoes to a fanatic willing to spend more time and money on this hobby than most would consider sensible.

As far as shipping tomatoes accross the country. I think every market grower needs to start educating customers on the importance of preserving the harvest while it is in season. Why the hell are we spending so much fuel and money on produce that can be grwon closer to the end user?? That's another rant altogether.
