Pretty pricey but they really are pretty good, they are the only tomatoes i will buy in the store, sometimes I really need tomatoes and these are good enough.

I also like the Cherub ones and the large grocery stores around here sell them as well, and they also sell the Santa Sweet ones,which are pretty darn good as well,for a winter tomato.

BUT, now that I'm housebound and can 't fix my own meals either,at least Mon thru Fri I get meals on wheels and they often have a fresh green salad and normally TWO grape tomatoes,but when they switched to ONE,I asked Ed,who delivers if I made a donation would that help.

He just laughed and so did I.

I have grown out an Intense Tomato. It was an experiment, I'm not a tomato breeder as I do not know how to pollinate without damaging the flower. Last year and a half ago, I planted the seeds from the biggest Intense tomato. The tomato itself was not that great tasting but I did so anyway. I grew two plants that I felt were healthy enough to keep. One made tomatoes as big as what I grown from, and the other was cherry in size.

I planted the seeds from the biggest one and gave them to my friend who wanted them. He abandoned them as he traveled all over the world.

When he returned months latter, he had a really good harvest. He said some plants were sickly bit some were good. He gave me tomatoes from the healthy plants. And wow, they are very good tasting. Sweet and tomatoey. Maybe because he didn't water them, or maybe because of genetics... I'm not sure. But they're all juiceless.

If somebody wants a few seeds from the f3 generation, I can provide. Granted that you give me some of the f4 generation afterwards... There's no gaurantee that they cross pollinated in my friends garden.
