| I wondered if anybody has ever grown Heatherington Pink Tomatoes, and if so, what they taste like. They look amazing, and I'm hoping the taste will match |

| You are in for a treat! I hated every single one of them last year. I tried and I tried, but they still didn't seem to improve. They were pretty, that's all. I hope they are totally different this year in your place. I should give Heather another go, but not too soon. Let us know what you think. I really hope last year's was a freak plant and yours is delicious. |

| My plant was an RL, grew strongly then shutup shop. Set plenty of fruit which diminished as the plant slowed. But I loved the flavour of those pink medium-sized fruits. Very good indeed. I would grow it again based on the flavour of the fruits I got before the plant went down hill. I can't imagine anyone hating it and can only suppose Spatz jests. Enjoy, Grub |

Yep, mine is an RL.too. They were of the ones sent by
Craig the Divine last year. They are just a superb looking tommie. I hope you're kidding Spattarella, I really hope the taste matches the appearance. |

| I'm not kidding, Adamoppy. It tasted terrible in my garden last year. No idea why. I really hope yours will be delicious. |

| I had the same thing happend with Eva Purple Ball, Ethel Watkins Best and Dr Neal, which I'm trying again. Bad little lemons. I think some seeds need a few years or that they are so old they just aren't good or something else. |

| The Heatherington Pink were AMAZING. So nice, and a big tommie. Same for the Moldovan Green. A lovely surprise. I think I'll do 'em again next year. |

| I am very glad to hear that, Adamoppy. Might give it another go next year. Yes, I love Moldovan Green. And I have harvested Grub's Mystery Green. Will cut up both at the same time for taste comparison. |

| Wow! I'm excited. So the RL was green when ripe then. You beauty. I have heaps of them on the RL plant. Hope they pass the taste test :) |
