What would you grow?

All of them are great, but Pink Tiger was easy to grow, with no need for heavy support.
MR was a bit more complicate, and the optimal flavor stage hard to decipher.

Thx, NG. I will definitely keep Pink Tiger in mind. I've read some reviews online, and it sounds like a great tomato. How tall did it grow for you?

I grew Blush in the veggie garden on a tall support and it probably reached 6'. Haven't tried Pink Tiger - yet. I liked the fact that Maglia Rosa tasted good even before it looked totally ripe. Can't say that it tasted a lot worse when fully ripe (as I had expected) so that was good!

Good to hear. First, because they look so pretty when at full color! And second because the difference between blushing pink and achieving full color is generally a much shorter window than the one between ripe and overripe. I like to share tomatoes with relatives and friends, and I would hate to hand them something that they have to eat RIGHT NOW.
