“Thanks! Ill give a try. I love all kinds of tomatoes, but it seems the yellow and orange have less acid and are sweeter.”

Have you ever grown something so special, so good... that you spend the rest of your gardening life trying to recreate it? I grew an orange oxeheart tomato once the size of a grapefruit, I kid you not. And that thing was THE best tasting “tomato” ... more like some strange sweet fruit (supposed to be a veggie).. that I have ever tasted.

I have since given up on ever experiencing that again due to unavailability of those plants now... but somewhere... someone might get lucky.

I once grew cantalope that were he sweetest ever. It was a year that had just the right amount of sun and rain. A perfect year weather wise for growing just about anything. Doesn’t happen often enough.
