Yup, last year I grew mostly Orange Banana. The sauce was heavenly -- the best I've ever tasted. DH is still asking about it. But I ended up throwing out about 50% because of BER, and the plants started dying in August. No more heirlooms for me, unless we move out of the Mid-Atlantic...

Nice tomato plants. Most of my tomatos have slown down and started dying... It hasn't been very hot lately... so maybe they're just getting old or it's the way I bent the stems downward because the plant was getting bigger than me.

yeah here on long island its been terrible with all the wet weather, septoria leaf spot is rampant. even the stronger cultivars are giving in, big beef and beefy boy. forget the heirlooms. i definitely have to try stronger varieties.

are these tomatoes sweet ? they seem like a good sauce tomato.

Septoria appears to be my main issue. Do these seem prone to that?

i have a big problem with septoria, the heirloom sauce tomato ten fingers of naples held up well and still is as of today. but i'd like to add a slightly larger plum to the mix hoping granadero is sweet enough.
