I do have a quick question for you, I am assuming you are saving seeds from your harvest.
Have you had much problem with cross pollination growing the tomatoes in close proximity with each other.
Thanks for the picture update on your plants
Did you try growing Black Cherry tomato? It has a complex sweet taste. Production wise, I have collected more than 4 pounds from one plant already. Most tomatoes loose their taste due to weather or deceases, this one is not.
