I only had a couple Brandywines last year. They made pretty good. Tasty. So are the Cherokees...

First year for Black Krim, but what I read sounds very promising.

Hasnt gotten below about 37 in past few nights. The plants are looking good so far.

My fav weather site had 28* last night for us, but I only had 33* at my house. I had 28* one night, Thur. I think.

I had tried Brandywine in the past with no results, in my hometown, then learned that it is not very heat tolerant, so I have not planted them again. I had good luck with Big Boy and Better Boy, but they were not as tasty as I would like to have, but far better than grocery store tomatos.

I think that I will get Brandywine and Cherokee Purple on your recommendation, if I can find them.

Have you been to Maas Garden center, in the area of the Space Center? We are wanting to go there and look around, maybe get our veggie plants. It sounds like a good place to get plants that grow well locally.
