This year I hope to try the "blue" tomato.
I've had blue tomatoes that were terrible tasting and others that were quite good. Like many other things, the blue skin is a single trait in a vast genetic pool that makes up a tomato's characteristics. Tom Wagner's Helsing Junction Blues were very good this last year, but we found that inexperienced growers had a difficult time telling when they were ripe, because there was no visible color change to indicate maturity.
