Thanks for sharing the link. I always enjoy Craig. He’s knowledgeable but still humble.

Now I gotta put EggYolk in my MMMM request.

What variety is the meaty, deep red tomato on the far left, middle, with very few seeds?

Thanks folks - talking with Margaret is always a treat. Which pic - I can't figure out what one you were asking about, Don.

Appreciate your showing of less then perfect tomatoes. Makes me feel better about my flawed crop....

I don't see that picture now, Greg. Something must have changed.

Craig, I have checked that link several times and never did see that picture again, but I used it on my FB site, "Home Grown Tomatoes of Yalobusha County, MS." I will try to post it here. If that doesn't work, you can see it on my tomato page on FB. I am interested to know the name of the deep red, meaty tomato on the lower left. And while you're at it, what are some of the other varieties shown?

My FB page is: Home Grown Tomatoes of Yalobusha County, Mississippi

Thanks Craig, and I look forward to your reply.
Don

Sorry about the name mix-up...inexcusable, except it was in the middle of the night during insomnia, so not all cells and neurons were firing! Sorry CRAIG! :-)

Hi there - you Gregged instead of Craiged me, so I missed this!

Lower left tomato is probably one of our large dark colored dwarf varieties - my guess is Chocolate Champion, or Tasmanian Chocolate.
