I've been harvesting tomatoes today.
Plants have been cut down tomatoes are dispersed to family & neighbors.
Cherokee Purple tomato: prone to fusariam blight-worst case I've ever experienced of any tomato grown. Lots of cracking seen on this variety. All told though, I have to admit, it's has the best old fashoned flavor. Ignore the green shoulders and just pick them before cracking & rot show up. The green shoulders never turn red for me. Be sure to stake them.
Opalka heirloom paste style tomato:
Impressed with flavor, resistance to disease, & (surprise) hornworm. This one is a teriffic producer. Also, use a sturdy stake system, plants are heavily loaded.
