Oh, also grew CC Red last year. It tasted fine, but it was later than Big Beef, smaller than Big Beef, and not as productive as Big Beef. If it were earlier than Big Beef, or Damsel, or any number of fine reds, I would try it again. But, lateness is a deal breaker.

Similar deal with CC Pink. A great tomato, I hear, but when I grew it, I didn't get to eat one until the end of August. And it was long wait for 2 and 3 to show up. About the time it was getting ready to finally produce, it was mid-September and the long, warm, sunny days of summer were gone, as was the taste of its tomatoes. By mid-September, the days are too short and the nights too cool to produce a decent tomato.
