me too.
I am also trying Yellow Brandywine, Platfoot Strain, for the first time. I have grown the non-platfoot yellow brandywine before. It was the sweetest tomato I had that year, but the plant only set a few fruit, and they were very ugly and irregular.
I order plain old "Brandywine" from Morgan County Seeds and get a big pink tomato that is just as good as any other big round pink I have grown so far. Last year I had Stump of the World and Marianna's Peace. They were good, but I don't think they were better. I still have a lot more pink tomatoes to try, though.
I get the impression that over so many years that the word Brandywine has come to mean "tomato that tastes good." It has been used for many different varieties.
