Tomato tasting in August of 2023

 This post describes the tomatoes I harvested and tasted in the last week of August 2023.

Pork chop has a good balance of sweetness and acidity, complex in flavor. I grow it every year. 

Black from Tula is very sweet and flavorful with low acidity, probably. Definitely will grow it again next year.

Early girl has a classic tomato flavor, I may grow it next year. 

Hearts Delight is more sweet than sour, good but not exceptional and cracking a lot compared to other cultivars. Not going to grow it next year.

Todd’s Amish Country is plain in the flavor, low acid, low sugar. Not going to grow it again.

Pork chop has a good balance of sweetness and acidity, complex in flavor. I grow it every year. 

Black Crim is very sweet and nicely flavored.

Carbon is sweet with low acidity, nicely flavored and meaty.

? - Balanced meaty fruit, strong productive plant.

Anna Russian is sweet with low acidity, nice fruit with great flavors, meaty and juicy.

Pink Berkeley Tie Dye is sour-sweet juicy, good fruit.

Optimal is sweet with some acidity and complex flavors, juicy.

I’m going to grow again all cultivars from the second plate.
