2010 tomato variety

I've been watching a woodchuck go in and out of my garden this season.
I've also watched him gradually get fat. I blame him for my low tomato
yield. Many are left half eaten on the ground and many look almost
ripe one day and gone the next.

Anyhow, here is the first 'spectrum of 2010' harvest. From left to
right: San Marzano, Cherokee Purple, Hillbilly, and Box Car Willie. I
haven't done a taste test yet but I know that I will be growing
Cherokees again. They are producing much more than the other two globe
types and I think their flavor is perfect - super low acid, not too
sweet, and the just the right ratio of gel to flesh.
