Variety review. Pictures of Nile Radish from Bakers Creek described as a heat tolerant summer type. I started these in Early July. They grew in one of the hottest periods of the KS summer, usually 90F+. I made certain they received consistent watering. They received sun for about 7 to 8 hours a day. I was surprised that they are not pithy and were even textured! They were peppery, which you would expect from a summer variety.

"I found the article on long keeper tomatoes: It was an Organic Gardening article Sept/Oct 1997 that rated long-keeping tomatoes on taste. "
Best overall: Dwarf gold treasure (source: Peters)
Best red (tie): Sheriff (source: Johnny's) and Winter Red (source: Burpee)
2nd best overall: Mountain Gold (source: Peters)
2nd best red: Flavor More (source: Nichols)
Comments about the Dwarf gold treasure included best tasting with "very nice flavor and tangy to boot" and the long-distance winner, with some fruits lasting and ripening into February.
The reviewers didn't have anything overly exciting to say about Mountain gold--just that it had long shelf life and had tomato flavor.
The reds had overall good flavor reviews.
Overall the reviewers marvelled at how long all these tomatoes kept while still tasting like tomatoes."
