In my garden I wouldn't call Indigo Rose spitters, but they were definitely bland and not tasty. I left them unpicked to freeze in the garden. I say that any tomato is as good as any other in tomato sauce... but I felt like the labor to pick such small little tomatoes during a frost-emergency-harvest was greater than the return on investment. I tasted 3 or 4 during the growing season, but even during good weather I mostly didn't pick them.

I'm sure they were ripe. There was no green at all, and they were appropriately soft. I just really disliked the taste. Shame. Of course, tomatoes vary depending upon the year and where they're grown, so others experience may of course differ.

I call the taste different. I can't decide whether I like it or not - it differs from day to day. But I will still probably grow them, just because they look so cool.

For my taste, they're just a bit too watery to eat them plain. But I take that as a positive as they turn into really great tasting tomato juice. It is the perfect tomato for juicing, so it will be back for me next year...
