Full StoryI just want to mention this tomato before I forget how good it is. How good is it....very, very good
Momotaro is a Japanese tomato, and I think it is a hybrid. I've grown it for 3 or 4 years and it has always been better than average, though not necessarily highly productive. It has been one of those tomatoes that I keep saying "If it doesn't do better this year, I may not grow it again." Well, this year it has done better.
The plants are huge, healthier than most, and it has borne quite a few very large, tasty, meaty tomatoes. The one we had for dinner last night (BLT sandwiches) was so large (22 oz.) that each slice was larger than a slice of bread, and the flavor was marvelous. I grow tomatoes for flavor, not size, but have had a few massively large tomatoes this year, and they are fun to "show off".....not to mention, fun to eat.
Momotaro probably earned its' way onto my "must grow" list with its performance this summer.
