For the last five years, after growing and tasting many tomato varieties, the main tomatoes I have grown are this Brandywine and the related Quisenberry Brandywine strain. Our local farmer's market offers only Red Brandywine, which cannot compete. My husband and I just cannot do without these strains, so I grow them. Most late summer evenings we have these tomatoes sliced on toast, sometimes with pesto or EVOO, for a wonderful light supper. The fruits are huge and even with less than ideal sun, my yield is always extraordinary. This year, I am growing only these varieties.
