Here the end of the season tomatoes generally produce smaller sized fruit...except this year. The larger varieties are hanging in there with big ones; just as large as the first tomatoes. The Mortgage Lifter variety growing this year (not sure which of the 16 different it is because a guy sent the seeds to me and didn't say except ML) is very productive, large and tasty. Most likely as the season progresses everything will either get smaller or stay green waiting for the big freeze.
My choices are for mid and late season varieties. The reason is as stated; the early ones have little flavor and after all is said and done, if they don't taste good there is no real reason to have them take up valuable space. Around here there are folks who love to say they have the earliest tomatoes, but they are like grocery store tomatoes...round, red, hard and tasteless. I would rather wait a couple of weeks for the real thing.
