Top OP Yellow/Gold Slicers - Tomatoeville Talks

[eyolf]

One more time, "diggin' up bones"

The list of those that recieved a lot of praise is small.

KBX wasn't very good for me; takes too long, and, IMO, tomatoes from very late in the season suffer a bit for flavor and texture. Because Mama and I put up a fair amount of canned tomatoes, even the so-so ones become winter soups, pasta sauces, and more. But a couple of the runners-up, and a couple not listed were in our garden this year because I enjoy them.

Azoychka and Djena Lee did very well for me, but don't handle the late cool nights. I'm more than impressed with Faribo Gold (en heart) and Mingold this year. I picked the last Mingold today, and must say even after nights in the 30's and days that struggled to reach 60, it has a fresh, snappy flavor.

Still dry and mealy in the top half, though.

Most of the pinks and reds just gave up.
I only grew one black and black cherry this year; not worth it.

I would encourage everyone to include some orange/gold/yellow varieties.

Hmmm - I don't see Moonglow or Nebraska Wedding on that list!

That means that no one recommended those two types in the period I reviewed.

Since Moonglow has been mentioned, I grew it last year. It is compact, very productive, and produces perfect round ORANGE orbs. However, I found the taste very tart.

In hind sight, 6 years later I would add Cero Blackburn and Summer Cider to the list. I grow them as well as Kellogg’s Breakfast and Coastal Pride Orange every year. Personally I have gotten away from growing more than one yellow variety a year, though there are many more than worth growing. They just don’t suit my needs and something had to go.
