Larger Tomatoes With Real Taste

I agree with Craig completely in that we all have our favorites and what grows and tastes great for one person in one location using their own growing methods and their own fertilizers and with their own weather and soil may not be reflected by the same variety grown elsewhere by someone else.

When I see someone who says a particular variety doesn't do well for them and it's a standout for me, I just chalk it up to location or any other number of variables.

No one person should listen that closely to some of us who have grown so many varieties name all the varieties we do b'c the task becomes impossible in terms of choosing varieties to grow.

Just make a list and go thru it year by year and trial and see what does best. If a variety comes to me highly praised by LOTS of folks and it doesn't perform, I always give it a second chance.
