Sold On Lemon Boy.
I would just like to thank everyone that talked me into growing Lemon Boy this year.
The first time I tried it years ago it was a total loss every fruit had BER. Then some of you guys told me to try it again and I did. Man am I ever glad I did, not only are the plants robust and healthy they still set fruit and the taste is fantastic. One of the best tasting yellows I have ever had. Plus they keep really well on the counter. You couldn't ask for more. Thanks again guys.  Worth |

Mine did great as well! I grew them in a whiskey barrel and its still putting out! Gave me the first fruit and probably 30+ more and is covered once again, though with smaller fruit this time...

Are they tart? I'm thinking maybe because of the name. I like tart tomatoes.

Two tomatoes from the same truss.
For some reason the stink bugs aren't sucking on them. Worth IMG_20150612_26804.jpg |

Do you like them better yellow or orange? I don't usually like tomatoes completely ripe. Some yes, but most I like just before they get to that stage.

 The yellow ones seem to be spicy I cant put my finger on it. I just cant complain too much about a tomato that isn't store bought.  Worth |

Your welcome. The little brown spots are from aged Balsamic vinegar from Modena Italy. I got the wee little bottle years ago as a gift and only use it on special occasions. Worth |
