I just tried the first Tarasenko 6. I'd call it "good enough," and by that I mean good enough to be a market variety. It's leading the charge in production, and even though it's not my favorite to eat, I'm confident that it would be the best tomato available at my farmer's market right now. Almost everyone grows hybrids that remind me of red baseballs.

Shelf life is very good. I could have waited a few days longer to eat the one I just tried. I would probably like it better if a little riper, and due to weather, most of my varieties have improved flavor with later fruit.

Comparison to Cosmonaut Volkov and Russian Soul coming soon.
