"I love tomatoes and I was so excited about these tomatoes. I planted the seed indoors and treated them with TLC. I planted them outdoors after danger of frost had passed. Again I treated my plants with TLC. I caged them, fertilized them, and loved them. in anticipation of a meaty tomato with intense tomato flavor.
Hmm....not so much.
Though the plants are beautiful. and the tomatoes appear to be delicious. I am hugely dissapointed, Here are the reasons.
1. Tomatoes do have a different color to them, but nothing like the picture.
2. they seem to ripen unevenly, they stay green on the top of the tomato and ripen on the bottom. Thought it was just me. So i tried one.
3. By the time they do ripen, they have rotten spots and the skin is split.
4. BUGS LOVE THEM.
5. Of the 12 plants I raised from seed i have gotten ONE pretty tomato off of the vine. I cut it open with great anticipation. It looked pretty, nice and meaty, just they way I like, then I bit into the slice to find the flavor very dull. With only a slight tomato flavor.
6. Also, there are not many tomatoes on the vine, and the plant and the blooms fell off and the plant has quit blooming.
7. I have had to throw away nearly every tomato, for one reason or another, spots, bugs.
Now, I know what you are thinking....split skins and rotten spots....too much water..... NO. I promise.
ALL OF MY STANDARD varieties that i grow every year are doing just fine."
