I can't wait to taste them.

Update on Amalfi - One of my original September plant is still pumping out large perfect tomatoes. I also have 2 grown cuttings that have several large tomatoes on it.

Amalfi is a wonderful tomato. For growing in Florida, I think it is your best so far.

I updated the Benevento thread, but here are some Amalfi pictures taken this morning.

Amalfi works in Florida.

Last year, Benevento was just about a perfect tomato, as far as I can recall. This year, every third or fourth one has blossom end rot! Also some longitudinal gray areas. The taste is not affected, and they are otherwise perfectly shaped and a more or less consistent size.

Bicolor #2 isn't getting BER, but it does have occasional catfacing, and there is more size variability. Gorgeous yellow tomato with red marbling inside.
