And maybe we'll get sweet corn. I can then repay in - generally - greens in the spring and the fall. Works wonderful. and you are right, most food banks are happy to receive fresh food.

Lynn said she wasn't sure (evidently there was some scrambling of plant labels), but she thought it was Brandywine. I know it's a much beloved variety. It sure was tasty! Good call, Susan.

Meanwhile, don't feel too bad. Lynn and family have a hoophouse, so they got an early start on their planting. I must tell you, though, I don't think it's possible to have more tomatoes than I can handle! I’ll see if I can find out the variety, Jennifer and let you know. Meanwhile, don’t feel too bad.

Do you know what kind it is? Maybe a costoluto genovese? I wish my tomatoes were producing like that. Sadly I've only got one so far on each plant. None of the flowers seem to pollinate; they just end up dropping. If you end up with more free 'maters than you can handle Janet, let me know. :) That tomato looks awesome!
