Pleasant Surprises of the Year

**Lee** · August 4, 2006

So far, I've had a few pleasant surpries this year of new
to me varieties.

1. Livingston's Marvelous - Has truly lived up to it's name. The plant has been realatively healthy, provided decent production of 6-8oz fruits, and the taste has been quite excellent.

2. Lime Green Salad - Nice contatiner grown green when ripe. Very good flavor with excellent production. My plant dropped almost no blossoms this year. The fruit that didn't get larger earlier, are now doing so since I've picked all the other fruit off. Of course, the LGS sorbet at TP IV helped put this one on the list too.

3. Grandfather Ashlock - Mine died of TSWV, but I'm including this one because it has been producing like
gangbusters in my Dad's garden. The taste is incredible as it has a nice tart bite, but not as overpowering as Jaunne Flamee. The plant puts out nice 16-24oz pink fruits. This is a real winner.... except for its low disease
tolerance (for me anyway). This is the first OP tomato
my dad has ever really praised for being so good. He still likes his Celebrities, etc....

4. Cuostralee - Kind of low production this year, but the
taste still beats anything out there. Had one the other day
that reminded me why I love summer. Yummo!
