MyFoot. A Spitter is a tomato that tastes so bad, you have to spit out, so my criticism of CG for getting BER didn't really fit here. Sorry for confusing you.

After ten days of daily rains I should have some bad ones this week.

Orange Cream Dwarf. I literally had to spit it out. My FIL liked it, so it was just my palate.
Also, Paul Robeson. It was early and pretty, but had NO flavor, sweet or acid. Blindfolded, I don't think you could tell you were eating a tomato. Was weird to experience something with nothing but juice and flesh without any taste. It wasn't even bad though, because it had NO flavor. But that's not good either. Ok, this is gonna get confusing... who's on first, whats' on second...

My worse tomatoes are/were the ones that failed to set tomatoes early enough and I pulled them. NEW BIG DWARF, DANIEL BURSON, OLD GERMAN , BOXCAR WILLIE , GREEN COPIA and COSTOLUTO.

Maybe not their fault. It has been a bad/late year and they did not like my climate. But I have quite a few varieties that are doing just fine. I would welcome any tomato that fruits no matter what the taste, I can find a good use for them.

No worst tomato, yet.

No tomatoes AT ALL (except SunGold) will make it happen.

I have read many times that Costoluto varieties aren't the best by far. I still haven't tried one yet, but I say that Fiorentino and Genovese varieties don't grow in RKN infested soil.

If I had to make do with only one plant, Sungold would be it.
