Tomato Taste Off

Plucked the following tomatoes last week (probably a day too early-- but oh so yummy). Hubby and I taste tested each, with bread, cheese, and a fresh garden cuc as the perfect pallate cleanser. All were fantastic, but here are our thoughts on each (from left to right in the picture).

*Rose - So much flavor. No tomato wateriness!
*Carbon - sweet and smooth - delish!
*Zogola (small and got tomatoes with black bottoms) - tangy and very tasty

I'll definitely regrow all of these!

Hello Mysterious CMP,
I bought this Rose variety at the Boulder Farmers Market as a starter plant, but you can order seeds at http://www.tomatofest.com/ or plants from http://heirloomtomatoplants.com/Big%20Red%20Tomatoes.htm. enjoy :)
