Heirloom and indeterminate. If you do t know what indeterminate has to do with tomatoes, well you need to learn.
Try a Porter variety, full of flavor.
Another is “Mortgage Lifter”. Yes, an actual type of tomatoe.
This article could also be about California fruit. Great color and shape but no flavor. My first trip to CA showed some beautiful fruit at the roadside stands. Apricots and peaches that tasted like cardboard.
Just like the ones in the grocery store.

Love Mortgage Lifter..Unfortunately, so do the squirrels and chipmunks...If you, or anyone else has tips to discourage them from taking a bite or two from each of my tomatoes, I would appreciate it...They are the bane of my gardening existence—Rodents and squash bugs!!!
