I recruited a helper today that says she likes tomatoes... We picked the F2 hybrids of [DX52-12 X Jagodka]. I asked her to taste a fruit from every plant... She ranked the taste as 1- Kinda Bad, 2- Kinda Meh, 3-Good. She gave 2 plants a score of Zero, even though that wasn't an option, and one plant a score of 3+ saying it was the best tasting tomato of the day.

I tasted those that she said were really good or really bad. I agreed with her assessment. One that we both thought was really bad was watery. The other had an off-taste.

The most productive tomato in the patch today didn't score well for taste. Oh well. Eventually I may crunch the data to decide what to plant next year. I think those that scored zero or 1 on the taste test won't be replanted. And maybe not even those that scored 2.

We picked about 20 pounds of fruit from the F2 hybrid patch.
