first up aunt rubys german green
ok i had 2 plants that didnt do so well and this is one of them.ive heard alot of people rave about them but for me im glad i finally got one to taste and it was not the taste for me.i think its just not going to do well in my soil

[Bipetual]

Charley, wow that is GREEN!

Sorry to hear you don't care for the taste but glad to hear it's your best year ever.

I think that may have been a little too green. Did it blush?
I let my Dwarf Summertime green get a little bit of gold to the bottom,or about as soft as a Cherokee Purple.

next up aunt gerties gold agian not very productive and the taste was a little bland for my palette,nice looking tomatoe but it split from all the rain that week and that probably affected the taste

[charley]

yep argg was alittle green but it did have a yellow tint and soft feel to it and fait pink blush on the bottom

Charley, I would think the tastes are because of all the rain we got back in May. I'm guessing you got a lot of rain like we did between Waco and Fort Worth back in May. I know that's a little north of you.

May is the most important month for gardeners in our area. That is when the plants start to grow and become strong. Our gardens got stunted in the most important stages because of the flooding rains.

I don't know about your garden, but mine suffered because of what I wrote above. I live 17 miles north of Hillsboro, TX.

this was my best tasting dark of the year margarets curtian.the bottom of the tomatoe had a mexican food taste to it hard to explain and the core was melony taste then closer to the top more of the clasic black tomato flavor sweet rich complex lots of flavors going on in this one.

yes it rained alot when they were green but missed alot when they started getting color.i think the hill country helped.lots of flavor for all tomatoes except the first 2 i posted

prudens purple was my first pink to ripen and was my most productive pink i couldnt believe how many lage beefy tomatoes were on that plant.they were also very meaty it looked like a slab of steak.the flavor i said was the best pink ever but i didnt know at the time i had several others that blew it away

[charley]

the next pink to ripen was STUMP OF THE WORLD and this one was not quite as productive as prudens but the flavor was better.

[charley]

and then they all started coming in GREGORYS ALTAI this one is a super producer and the flavor is pretty good to but still not top 10.the orange one in the back is sweet oozark orange

[charley]

i will post more tomorrow bed time

Looks like you had a nice season Charley.

[BigVanVader]

Ditto on the Prudens purple, every tomato I have on that plant has been near a pound or bigger. The taste so far is nothing compared to my blacks and the SOO.
