Best Tasting Tomato For Sandwich ?

[Smart Red]

And I was expecting to learn about a tomato from the Isle of Wight or from the ancient wights (or zombies) of the middle ages.

It may be something psychological because I'm not willing to grow them for ~ maybe ~ one fruit to ripen the last week of the growing season but ... I had Kellogg's Breakfast twice in the garden. I thought they were delicious!

They are an orange and may not be what you are looking for in a BLT sandwich tomato. Pantano Romanesco is full of flavor! And, it's red ... but, late.

I've never eaten a Pink Brandywine but Red Brandywine OTV is great. It's supposed to be a little earlier than its sisters.

I though @marshallsmyth 's Amy Sue was an outstanding big pink! Last year was an unusually hot one so I don't know how it would perform in a cooler, short season. Marshall made a cross between Marianna's Peace with Giant Syrian. I have Marianna's Peace to grow with Amy Sue and compare in 2016.

For an earlier red beefsteak, I have been happy growing and eating Big Beef nearly as long as it has been available. I notice that it is popular with a lot of gardeners.

Kellogg's Breakfast is a mighty fine tomato when it comes to taste and that color is just fantastic.
I generally don't consume much fresh tomatoes unless grown myself, I tend to stick to oxheart types for sandwiches as they tend to be high flesh and low pulp content stopping sandwiches going soggy.

Yes ma'am I'm not great at spelling but I try to get as close as possible lol

Me too just read some of my old posts, often spell check has no idea what I am tiring to spell

Now, I'm gonna pick on you, NyBoy. I will relate your original post here with what you were just asking @sumi in the thoughts and quotes thread - about trees and such at the garden centers .

I would like to live in a perennial paradise but I can't. Despite the stress of growing annual plant starts, I am getting along okay - outside the border to paradise. Sounds like heresy, don't it??

Well! Now that you have that greenhouse, you can join me in Sin City! There is a world of tomato varieties out there, NyBoy! Your greenhouse can open a door to it .

I will drag @aftermidnight into this. Ha! She may have difficult tomato growing conditions but she overcomes them with early starts and up-potting to larger containers. And, @Hal , he's on the other side of the world from you!

Now, not only is there a world of tomatoes, there are also worlds of other annuals, including ornamentals by the hundreds! I just say, "let it happen," sorta - and, I have an Instant Garden each year! And, it's otherworldly.

I thought Ray was trying to say 'The blight will break the plant". I guess I had blight on my mind from that other thread.

Some of what I can select from outta about 25 .

I should have pulled a Goliath into view to show @Ray he isn't alone in appreciating that variety.

Ummm...I don't eat them?

Mary

That is Really funny, because so many gardeners start the hobby because they started growing tomatoes. So...what got YOU into gardening?

 

[ninnymary]

Ducks, I eat tomatoes. I just don't eat BLT's or sandwiches with tomatoes. They make them soggy.

I got the love of gardening from my grandmother. Funny though, she never grew veggies just flowers. She would save her seeds every year.

Tomato sandwiches are a southern thing, white bread, Dukes mayo, and a Black Krim or Cherokee purple. Delicious and I wish I had one right now!
