Now if your tomatoes (from C) and your friend's tomatoes (from A) all taste alike, it could be the weather. Weather can do horrible things to the taste of a tomato.
I feel for you... so much time, effort, & $$ but so little reward.

Hi..Yes the weather has been "tropical" ...I even blame it for my feeling unwell..Now I bought 2 Tasty Toms ..from (A) as soon as they arrived in..the date I have was Sept 4th 2017....They are now well grown but I feel they had problems as well when purchased ...One in particular had a leaf curl right from when I got it and thats why I asked if leaf curl could be a virus ...So its producing ripe fruit although they are small and that is what really alerted me...the difference in taste from the fruit on (C) plants which I have just been able to taste.......
Tasty tom has the exact shape of Campari which I believe can be bought in the USA...but my friend and myself both agree at a taste last season Tasty Tom although very similar to Campari has an extra tomato bite taste......I would at a guess say the ??? from (C) have a lot less bite than campari...
I have completely lost faith in these people and thats why I am going to cut them out of the loop completely hopefully by growing late cuttings inside and using cuttings from them for next seasons greenhouse...
Regards Ron...
I wonder if any viewers have ever grown "Midnight"...If so could they tell me and I could put a photo up of my "Midnight" fruit...
