    I grew it once - It is a standard size salad tomato (not cherry) and tasted ok, but nothing special for me to grow it again, but taste differs between one person and another - so you may love it.
    If it helps, I prefer tomatoes with a bit of tartness to them, rather than the sweeties others rave over

        It depends what else you're planning to grow. I try to grow a mix of different cultivars so that I get a range of colours and sizes. Harbinger are a standard red tomato much like Ailsa Craig, Moneymaker, Matina, or Alicante and I tend to grow a couple of those each year.

          Harbinger isn't that commonly available, but you can find some info and pictures here:

            I Love "Harbingers" and grow it most years, for the same reason most have said, it is a standard size run of the mill tomato you can put to all uses, not one all Tomato conosears reach for, but a good all round heirloom variety!

                I grew Harbinger a few years ago. A nice tomato but definitely nothing special.

                And when your back stops aching,
                And your hands begin to harden.
                You will find yourself a partner,
                In the glory of the garden.
