I was working with a Master Gardener and her husband who've been collecting
heirloom tomatoes for quite a while. She did most of the work on the trials.
Strangely, neither she nor I are particularly fond of eating raw tomatoes,
except for a few of the heirloom types. My favorite is Black, or some of the
others with Black in the name. They have really rich flavor. I'll pass this
on to her and see if she has a response.
