December 31 Tomato Taste Update

Every year I wish I had made more notes on my tomatoes, and this year I thought I had, but going over my quickly jotted notes while tasting tomatoes still doesn't give my much information - apart from KARMA Miracle scoring a 9* in one tasting

Anyhoo, thought I'd include my notes for what it is worth ..... my favourite this year??  Brad's Atomic Grape - which of course I have no notes for, but lovely flavour, nice texture, good keeper and beautiful to look at
