Growing Tomatoes

suggestion for a costoluto-like variety

11 years ago

Hi, I grew one costoluto tomato this year and they produced ok. They don't taste good eating fresh, but are outstanding when cooked. I am now thinking whether I should leave the spot to it next year, or try a similar cooking-type tomato with higher productivity. Any suggestions?

Personally, I have a space saved for one of these three varieties, the first two are supposed to do ok right till 1st freeze, and Rio Grande is listed as a determinate but witnesses say differently:

Rio Grande (semi-det., very productive!)
Opalka (indet., productive!)
Costoluto Genovese

While they look different, they all make great sauce, but I like the taste of the Costoluto Genovese I managed to eat fresh (but not grow).

Best growing!
