Yup, up east in NJ they eat it a bit mushier. I have grown Ping Tung before and loved it, Wanted the Louisiana Long Green, but didn't get around to it.
@Rido Totally Tomatoes for my seeds... at least peppers and tomatoes. Pod, that boy helped me strip half the tomato vines today- I took 2 armfuls to the burn pile, but still have that one vine of the Super Sweet 100's and 3 vines of the Opalka still ripening.
