One tomato harvest from these tomatoes----a Lush Queen. I love the striped colors of the fruit....black and green, then purple red and pink (sorry I will get a picture on the next ones). But, this one was great. Very dark red slice and good taste. I will definitely save some seed from this one.

Had some friends from North Carolina and South Carolina visit during the weekend. We used to vacation together in Garden City, SC and I always took tomatoes. We enjoyed a lot of them. During the weekend we had tomatoes every meal, but for one meal we had a "taste test" of heirloom tomatoes, mostly the ones from this giveaway.

We tried Amos Coli, Red Boar, Lush Queen, Indigo Apple and what I call Thomas Jefferson Monticello Brandywine. All votes were in and the order was
1. Brandywine
2. Lush Queen
3. Amos Coli
4. Indio Apple
5. Red Boar

Ooh! I haven't grown Lush Queen yet. I'm putting it on next year's must grow list. 8)
