DISCOVERY: Best Tasting Tomato is NOT the Prettiest Shape or Color!

These photos say it all - the sudden bit of Summer in Fall was exactly what my tomatoes needed - and they are juicy and delicious!  You can really see the difference between the varieties I planted.  The chocolate cherry tomatoes are scrumptious, and rarely make it as far as the kitchen - I tend to eat them straight from the vine in the garden!  The least lovely tomato, the goldeny-red, roundish-most-boring-shaped ones, are actually the sweetest and my favorite to eat - I wonder if this is a metaphor for people too!  Can't judge a tomato by its cover!  I need to look at my notes to see which variety those yummie ones are, so that I plant more of them next year.
