Mike,
Do you have a picture or description of the Hungarian Heart? I am curious whether it is a true heart or more of a plum shaped. I love Glacier as well, it is a great early tomato! Unfortunately not as widely grown as Stupice or Kimberly, but the taste is very well worth it.

Hi Mike - my first tomatoes have had great flavor:
Black Krim - always great but plant is looking alittle ratty usually a heavy producer Jet Star - my main cropper and always tasty, Big Beef - the plant is certainly big - 7 feet and growing with a ton of flowers setting. Fruits are ok and not so big. Lots BER on this one early on. I am also growing Hungarian Heart - my fruits are really heart shaped - just a few set, lost alot of flowers to the heat and humidity. Not sure how big they will be and a little slow in setting. German Johnson - setting so-so. Tasty is quite good but I was expecting sweeter. Monster Cherokee Purples just beginning to turn. waiting on druzba. Tons of spider mites are taking a toll on all plants. Piegirl |
