I bought some Cherokee Purples last season and was disappointed. They are supposed to be low acid, which would be easier on a lot of people’s stomachs, but the ones I had seemed low on taste also... It was late in the season, and I may have just gotten some poor ones, though. The market guy said his customers are crazy about them (and they were pricey).
“Celebrity” tomatoes seem to grow real well around here (East TN). I usually grow a variety of hybrids. German Queen is my old favorite for eating plain, and Celebrity or Better Boy for sandwiches and canning.
Good luck!
I’ve had great success with Celebrity & Better Boy. Just thought I would try the heirlooms. Hoping for something special...
