Well actually I like Silvery Fir, and yes they are better than supermarket etc. I like as they are dependable in the cool and heat and will give 2 crops here as they are so early and can grow even in small containers when most varieties will not (I have had medium size fruit from 1 gallon ..but they prosper of course in larger containers ) and they grow well under lights ..indoor . over winter aaaannnnd are interesting ornamental leaf etc.
They of course are not the Big Classic tomato ... I have noticed some folks call them " spitters ' as they are tart....the peasant in me values Silvery Fir for all the above practical reasons. LOL
