Awesome, Paul. Why didn't you take me along? The Farmer's Market here usually have a few heirlooms, but not this year. In the tasting, did you find any new ones that sparked an interest in you to grow them?
Last year, while at the Farmer's Market, I spotted a tomato that I thought I recognized. I asked the guy if it had a name. He said it did have a name but I wouldn't recognize it. I said, "Try me." He said, "Arkansas Traveler".
I told him I was currently growing that one. He was surprised.
To be honest with you, mine weren't as big as his and not as blemish free. He grows them in a hoop house.
