Any other tomato varieties that taste like Brandywine OTV?
I picked my first Brandywine OTV today and it tasted great! My only complaint is that the plant itself is gigantic and I have only about 20 fruit set on a monster bush with almost 10 stems (in a cage).
Since I can only grow 5 tomato plants each year on my flimsy deck in 10 gal pots, I was wondering if there are more compact and more productive varieties that would still offer the same great taste of Brandywine OTV. The other tomatos I have tried that tasted somewhat similar although quite a bit weaker than BrOTV are Marmande and Earl of Edgecombe. I like tomatoes with a very strong taste. However, I dislike the standard pink heirlooms such as Cherokee Purple and Brandywine Sudduth (at least the samples I have tried). I would greatly appreciate any suggestions! Artis Here is a picture of my little deck garden, the plants are over 6 feet tall: |
