Tomatoes - Five Varieties

After 120 days, it is time to compare the varieties....

For the most part, I got fruit from all and there was not a huge difference in the fruit color or size. I have yet to do a real taste test difference.

At this point, I am going to try to get another set of fruit out of each plant. I am doing this by stripping out the dead leaves. Below are before and after pictures of each.

Sample Before and After stripping of dead leaves.
