Better for Sauce,
August 22, 2008
Submitted by Chestnut
from Northwest, OH
"It's not entirely fair to say these tomatoes are dry, it is more accurate to say they are gel-less. Flesh is rather firm, but texture is more towards mealy. Flavor is mild and sweet, with a twang of acid coming from the skin.
Cooked, they release lots of moisture proving that they aren't actually dry, and the sweetness is enhanced a lot. Salsa I made is very much a sweet flavor instead of tangy. These are much better suited for tomato sauces, because of the sweet taste.
Plants had horrible blossom-end rot (other tomato plants not really affected). I am getting loads of these, but they are very small. Largest was 6 oz."

Less than hoped for,
June 2, 2008
Submitted by Puna
from Tolland County, CT
"I have been growing tomatoes since I was 10 years old and helping my dad in his tomato garden. In fact, tomatoes are the only thing I can consistently grow well. Every year I try one or two new varieties of tomatoes to see if there are any other varieties that I'd want to add to my annual planting list.
Last year, I tried the Fresh Salsa and I wasn't impressed. My sister makes awesome homemade salsa, so when I saw these, I had to try them.
Overall I thought the yield was very poor and the taste was so-so. I got maybe 10 tomatoes total off three plants. There weren't even any green ones to pick and let ripen indoors at the end of the season. I will not order these again. I've had much better flavor and yeild with other plants."
