Do you prefer the "blight" resistant tomato plants or the "good ole" regular kind?

I find the regular kind make tomatoes longer and more abundant. Do you?

Over the years so much good stuff has been hybridized OUT of our old faithfuls. Newer tomatoes are less acidic and whereas we would can tomatoes for winter, it's no longer safe because they're not acidic enough. Give me a plain old tomato!!!

I think the biggest difference in the taste of a tomato is when it is picked


Tomatoes picked commercial are picked totally green and gassed with ethylene to ripen. They have no taste. Well, Kind of like card board.


I like my tomato's ripe and juicy on the vine.
