tomatoes in Indiana are not as tasteful this year

I've grown a little cherry tomato called Sungold in past years, and that was the tastiest I've ever had.

I agree...our normally delicious Indiana tomatos are not as good this year. Maybe it is the heat!

I have tomatos coming out of my ears (well, garden actually) right now! The problem is that I don't like them raw, I use them a lot for cooking. So I don't know how they tasting this year! :) LOL!

Have you tried some of the Heirloom varieties? I've heard that they have more flavor.

We have the grape, cherry, and some early girls. Ours taste pretty good this year, and MAN, did they get tall!!!!!!!!!

A really good heirloom tomato with great taste is Mortgage Lifter. You won't find it at the big box store though. Have to start your own seed from one of the catalogues. They weight about a pound a piece too.

What a funny name for a tomato! I have 2 beefsteaks, but they're not ready to be picked yet. In the past, they're my favorites. The Yellow Pear tomatoes are smaller than I thought they'd be (see what happens when you don't read the fine print??), and I really don't detect too much tomato flavor from them. The Romas I've gotten so far have been really good, but small. The upcoming ones look bigger. The fruit was late on all the plants this year, and the plants are very tall.

I have heard that too much chemical fertilizer will produce beautiful plants with no taste. My plants are doing so poorly due to the cold weather that I haven't even gotten a tomato yet!

I did not do a garden this year due to back problems but in the past I always planted Big Boy. They are not an heirloom but oh man do they ever taste good! I swear by Big boy variety.
