This tomato is new for us this year. Have you tried it? Smashing flavor. This heirloom tastes uncannily like smoked bacon, and very good bacon at that.
Also Kellogg's Breakfast -- The first Orange tomato I've liked. Worth a try. Bracing, creamy deliciousness. ...smidge of tartness. It's actually orange in color.
My primary varieties for years have been Pineapple, Reef Red and Fantastic. I may add these new ones. Dave
Reef = Reif
I grew that a year or two ago. Fantastic flavor, but a very weak plant that hated the summer heat, here. Was that your experience?
Zone 6, south-central PA, very dry summer but average heat, lots of 90 deg days. I water extensively in during the vegetative state.
Regarding plant vigor -- similar observations, but I stagger my tomato plantings and this plant went in at July's end, so it's only now really maturing as the weather is now moderating.
Nevertheless, clearly a weaker, open-pollinated type. But the flavor is so unique I may throw the dice next year and plant half a dozen over a 6 week period starting mid-May.
When you're a tomato nut, it's always fun to savor a new, superior taste, even if vigor, etc. is wanting. Dave
