Perhaps it might be payback time for the Neves Azoren Red I sent you so many years ago.

Taste was excellent, very well balanced.
The plant in the picture is a F4, so too early for a general seed offer. But if you want some seeds to try it out, I will be more than happy to send you some Carolyn. I will send you a PM.

This year I got multiflora mini-beefsteaks as in the picture, and a few non-multiflora cherry plants with fruits similar to Black Cherry, but a bit larger. All were PL plants with great taste.

Ed,

I grew suddiths and cowlicks last year but I planted cowlicks later because I got my seed late and they (the fruit) were smaller. I would like to try both again another year because we had a wet year and my rows were too close also. I also need to find more cowlicks seed.

Abraham Lincoln....although this year was my first year growing it, I was quite impressed with it overall. The flavor was very good. Excellent on a BLT. Very little splitting or blemishes on the tomatoes. It ripened around mid-season for me, and produced well into the fall.
Most of my tomatoes are used in canning(I can only eat so many fresh). So I really liked the good production I got from my Abraham Lincoln plants.
I realize one year isn't much of a trial, but I plan on growing at least 4 Abraham Lincoln plants next year. I'll see how several other mid-season, red tomatoes(mostly older commercial types) compare to it.

Talking about MUST GROW:Come to think of it :

All these years that I have been gardening have never had a MUST GROW variety. I have not grown any variety more than 4 times. But I have had few that I liked more and few that I disliked and won't grow them again. YMMV
