| I would find an isolated plot that has all the normal tomato diseases Fusarium 1 2 3, Verticillium, all the blights etc etc and grow 10 ea of all those I like the best - then take fruit from all of those that came out OK and grow again - replenishing the diseases - then the best of the last tomato standing that tastes great would be my choice oh yeah I should probably add plots doing the same where I think I will be moving in a few years to adjust for temps there and do the same in a greenhouse - sounds like a big project - hope boxcar willie, some of the cherrokee's, mule team, and half of those in Carolyn137's book make it - then I would have a difficult time choosing - wouldn't I ? of course my wife will probably not like my choice so she would have to grow her own - oh never mind I will probably be dead by then - can we get that 18 year old growing maters for his mom to do this and send the results with the next person going to heaven?? |

| * Posted by mulio: "Im partial to mine. I couldnt pick just one." Okay, but if you were to recommend one of yours for someone who lives near Death Valley to grow, which would it be? I guess the question is which 'Keith tomato' is a combination of productive, early, and heat tolerant. Brandywine does not do well here, but I'm experimenting heavily next year. Liz Birt was started yesterday and will spend her youth in a greenhouse. |

| Totally Tomatoes used to offer it on their sale page but it's not listed anymore. I suppose you could call and ask them if they'll be relisting it in the future. I thought this was one of the very best tomatoes I've ever grown. Round, red, glorious. |

| I would choose either Guker's Special or Paul Robeson, which are a pink and black beefsteaks respectively. Dean |
