Suggestions for an OP yellow slicer?
So I want to try a new large yellow tomato, but my initial wants have been shattered by various bad reviews.. For example, I thought Azoychka looked promising, then I read that the skin in quite tough among other maladies. And then I thought I'd go for Hillbilly, because I've had it from a farmer's market or two and they were really sweet and meaty and juicy, nothing spectacular, just good. But I've read that it's not particularly popular on here and other boards, as well as the fact that it doesn't produce in less-than-perfect weather (which we are almost guaranteed to have, if the previous few years are any indication). So I'm open to suggestions for delicious yellow slicers! Or cheers for the aformentioned varieties!
I mention OP because I just have no luck with hybrid tomatoes in my garden. Not one has ever done well for me. My garden is very hot and dry and I'm not interested in fussing with tomatoes. Also, any thoughts on Rose de Berne are welcome.. I have never seen nor tasted it but want a pretty pink, not a giant, crack-prone monster like my beloved Caspian Pink |
