Chesapeake was one of the stars down here - even when grown in a paltry "12 gallon" growbag - wonderfully full balanced tangy & sweet - saved a bunch of seed. Red, baseball to softball sized, small core - firmer than a lot of pinks but not at all hard. Awesome Caprese salad, tomato sandwich tomato. Sunray in a bag has produced 4 or 5 beautiful deep orange globes - lovely flavor. Hopkins is very pretty but sited next to Dr. Carolyn which makes Hopkins seem not so good - on the table it is a nice tomato. DelMar in a #&^$# growbag produced 1 or 2 nicely shaped vibrant tasting red fruit - will grow it again. Greater Baltimore & Scarab seedlings had an early unfortunate demise... still can't talk about it... I have been pleased with the Mid-Atlantic grow outs - Chesapeake has been my standout down here - more for next year!
