I got a dozen all at once. Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Pinapple, and Ponderosa Pink.
I ate one at lunch, one at dinner, one the next lunch and another the next dinner...
Heavenly.
They aren't pretty. But they sure beat anything at the stores and farmers market. And I already have more this year than all of last year!
The red plastic may have helped (no splashing up of soil-bourne fungals). The waterbottles may have helped. Large soda bottles screwed into plastic spikes that delivered water several inches underground slowly. Into which I dropped slow-release organic fertilizer pellets to dissolve with each filling of the bottles. And maybe lack of rain so I controlled the watering each week.
But for whatever reason, this is seeming to be a good tomato year here.

You have a lot of good varieties, we only do sauce ones, San Marzano.
