Yes. I'm already planning for next year... : )

This is my second year growing, and second year for yellow full sized tomatoes. I'm not loving yellow tomatoes yet, but don't want to give up.

Last year I grew celebrity and yellow pear.. yellow pear's cuteness made up for its lack of taste, and celebrity was just plain yuck.

This year, Lemon Boy, Banana Legs, Sungold and yellow pear made it in (why yellow pear again, I dunno, I don't even pick them anymore, just let them sit out there and look cute). Lemon Boy, wow, what a producer, and though much better than the watery mush of celebrity, still, not tomatoey tasting. Its almost citrusy spicy tasting, but just doesn't taste like a tomato. Banana legs I won't bother with again next year.. very unique, very cute, but again, no taste. Sungold I shall never be without again, that is one fabulous tomato!!!!

Yellow Brandywine got toasted by frost as a seedling and never made it into the garden. oh well.

Yellows are so gorgeous, I want a great big yellow slicer, but now I'm gunshy... can anyone recommend a full sized yellow tomato that actually tastes like a rich and juicy tomato? or do yellows just taste like yellows?
