Pick 2 tomatoes from the same plant. Label one "Brazilian Swimsuit Model" and one "Filboid Studge" and see which one wins a taste test.

Ask Worth,who is not that far from you, how to do it.

It seems he's a first class problem solver for many things, and I know he would agree with my compliment and perhaps even take the time to bring it to me,hauling a boxcar behind him with his HUMONGOUS OUTSIZE motorcycle.

Got it figured out.
About 23,000 members here can send you 5 pounds of chocolate each all on the same day.

23,000 X 5 = 115,000 pounds = 57.5 tons = a box car load.
Amazon can send it with drones, 23,000 drones all on the same day.

GGWT is an unusual one. Three different people didn't want even a free plant when I told them the name, but all 3 wanted one once they heard the story behind the name. The story is everything. Once you try growing a variety, taste and how it does in your garden are all that matter. The name might very well matter in getting someone to try it the first time.

Thanks Hudson, I really liked my "Speckled Foodstamp". It's a silly and fun site.

I have seed of Elbonian Mudball AND seeds for this one can even be bought in Japan. 10 seeds for 540 yen.
See Chief, your seeds have international recognition! You are a famous tomato breeder.

But is it the "real" Lower Elbonian Mudball?
