My First Tasting...Shannon's, KBX, Mystery Green..

gssgarden · July 15, 2013

Had a couple over for my first tasting of the season!

Blindfolded of course for fun. Just loved the way everyone had a different opinion on taste, skin, seeds, ect.

From 9 o'clock clockwise are..

Shannon's,
Pink Brandywine,
Rutgers,
KBX
Amelia,
and a Mystery Green!

Biggest disappointment was Pink Brandywine due to the fact that I pulled it early when half was red and let it ripen inside. A little mealy, which everyone seemed to agree but she'll be back for sure!

Graded on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the best.

Results...

Shannon's - 20 pts
Green - 19 pts
KBX - 19 pts
Amelia - 18 pts
Rutgers - 17 pts
Pink Brandywine - 12 pts - Due to bad condition of tomato

Kids LOVED Early Treat too!!

Hey Lee, Yeah, it was one of those half ripened ones, while the other half is still Green type tomatoes. BUT it was a Brandywine so I didn't want to waste it. The others are at least a week behind! They'll improve I'm sure!
