Kurt,

That is awesome. We have a Fresh Market in Orlando and I'm going to look for some and give them a try if they have them. It also looks like there are some interesting recipes on the Village Farms website like the one below... :-)

Thanks for posting this! I keep looking for good tasting tomatoes everywhere we go and we haven't really found any so far.

Out of about 30 varieties that I am growing , 7 of them are grown from the seeds taken from store bought tomatoes. 3 of them are for the second season and 4 more for the first time this year. Five of them come from OP/heirloom tomatoes the other 2 are not. These 2 are KUMATO and a Mini Roma/Juliet looking.

Wow, Gardeneer, that sounds like good results.
I am growing one plant from store-bought tomato, it's a yellow one and supposedly tasty (some folks already have grown it and claimed it was good).
Kumato was the only one last year I wasn't able to make to survive, but given so many other, black and OP varieties, that did not really bother me - there already are a dozen or so well known delicious black ones to choose from, and many other less know ones to experiment with..

So, which one of the three products are you speaking of? Cabernet, #9, or the cherry mix pack?

I have plants from three store bought tomatoes this year, two cherries (Zima-yellow and Cherub-red) and one large saladette (Red Zoo - red striped). The cherries were a winter delight, Red Zoo (the source, not the variety name) was firm and moderately tasty. I'll harvest seed from the best F2 plants and make a few crosses.
