Spitters and other Insipid Tomatoes

TomatoDon · January 25, 2007

Well, after receiving a reply to one of my posts mentioning the Magnum variety (the most insipid tomato I ever grew, one poster said) and seeing the new "Carolyn Gets the Last Laugh" thread, I thought it was time to start one on "spitters and other insipid tomatoes." We have lists for "must grow," "try these," and so on, but none for "I tried this variety and these are the problems I had with it" list.

Knowing what NOT to grow is very important, too, and would save a lot of time and frustration for folks here. No need wasting a good planting spot on a spitter or otherwise insipid tomato when that space could be better used for something more reliable and good. And I see a lot of good folk here with limited planting room, so each plant counts.

So, here it is, The Spitters and other Insipid Tomatoes thread. What's first? Magnum?

:

Thanks!
