Has anyone tasted this tomato? I've ordered in some seeds and I'm trying to figure out how many plants to plant. If they look unusual and have a good enough taste I'll grow a couple of plants but if they knock your socks off then I'll want to grow more. Anyone know?

I grew some this year and if you have not sent your order in yet I've got some seeds spare. They taste fairly good, salad slicer type, but I think you will be keeping your socks on! They are stunning to look at though, really different There seems to be a lot of breeding work being undertaken with these at the moment and hopefully tastier versions will be about soon.

Thanks poly I guess a couple of plants will do then. More room for some other toms.

Oh dear, I REALLY don't need any more seeds but you know, just for future reference, is there a commercial supplier of these, should my credit card feel a bit frisky?

[poly]

Sorry, I’ve no idea of a commercial supplier, but I saved some seed from the plants I grew this year, if you would like a few of mine
I also grew Blueberry, a very similar variety.

If you are a newbe how on earth do you decide on what variety of tomato to grow, there must be hundreds out there and more coming on the market every year.I know that taste is the most important factor but it could take several years of growing to find one to your own pallet.

Gojiberry, I guess for a newbie and for someone growing toms for years you just have to pick and hope for the best. I've got more tomato seeds than I can shake a stick at but I've ordered in the OSU Blue and the Chaipis wild tom - cause they sound different. I guess it is trial and error.
