Jerry,

You can still make the drive down! We've got room for you, especially with tomatoes looking like those!

Here's tonight's sampling.

Stokes County - Very nice, balanced flavored pink tomato. This one has been a good producer so far this year. Even the birds (unfortunately) like this one! 7.5/10

Loxton Lass F6 - A very nice round orange dwarf tomato. This one came in about 8oz. The flavor was a very good tart flavor which I'd give about 7.5/10. Unfortunately, both of my plants died prematurely to fusarium. The compete lack of tolerance is a concern with continuing this line. Hopefully, others will have better luck. (A Kiwi F2 and Summertime Gold next to these two plants show no signs of fusarium at all.)

Orlov Yellow - This larger oblate yellow tomato has a nice tart flavor. Growing again this year to replenish seed stock. 7/10

Iron Lady - This hybrid was advertized as very disease tolerant. However, it seems to be only slightly less tolerant of the early blight in my main bed. The red round fruit is very variable in size and shape. The flavor is just average on this one, and may be better in a sauce. 5.5/10
