RE: Tomato Variety and problem (was RE: Planting time)

My favorite is pruden's purple, but I'd love to taste a brandywine.  Hey
fellow MD'ers: are there any farm markets that sell heirloom tomatoes?
Somewhere near DC would be fine.  I'm in southern MD, but I can't seem to
find decent produce!  My theory is that everyone grows their own down here,
but I thought for sure I'd be able to find some decent corn.

Tomatoes - I planted 2 red brandywines, 1 jetstar and 1 early girl just
yesterday.  Still trying different varieties, last year I planted better
boys and sweet millions which both did well.

Hey everyone:  what is the best tasting tomato to you and why?  I don't know
the name of my favorite... I just remember my grandma growing it and it was
about the sweetest, juiciest, firm-but-not-overfirm tomato I ever remember
tasting.  It was medium-red with a little yellowing toward the top,
good-sized and sort of looked more like a squash toward the top.  If only I
could ask her what it was.  Unfortunately I'd need a medium/clairvoyant, or
perhaps someone like Stan ;-

I just got bush green beans, bush limas, pole beans and cantalope planted
today... as I was finishing it started raining, is there anything better?
Good timing is more luck than anything I think.
