I don’t care much at all for the Better Boys, but Pops thinks they’re great so I plant a four-pack of them every year for him.

I like the old heirlooms. Sometimes they look a little ugly but the flavor of a Purple Cherokee/Brandywine/Black Krim/etc. can’t be beat and they get humongous.

I haven’t heard of the Costuluto Florentino but I’d be willing to give them a shot. Where do you get the seed for that variety?

Well this is an interesting rabbit hole. I didn’t buy seed, I bought two plants at a local nursery. First of all I misspelled it, it is costoluto fiorentino. So I looked for seed on Google, came up with this. https://territorialseed.com/products/tomato-costoluto-fiorentino?variant=12786171478115&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOorH5bN3MjbHXuryi_rivSGDqyTjxXQ5Hj4vMkexZSJpNjPh0tHqtTQ
Another thing. While ours looks like this on the inside, it is totally round no bumps and the stem is not recessed. When we pick the next one I’ll have to take a pic.
