This is my first year growing Mortgage Lifter tomatoes. I thought I'd try them based solely on the romantic notion that this particular tomato supposedly lifted one farmer's fortunes so as to save his farm. It is a large pink tomato, the third type, after Stupice and Juan Flamee, to ripen in my garden this year. The taste is just OK, but I did note that this tomato has very little juice or seeds and lots of meaty flesh. I believe it will make a fine paste/sauce tomato so I think I'll be using it for a canning tomato and save some of my better tasting 'maters for fresh slicing.
The two larger tomatoes are Mortgage Lifter, the smaller on is a Stupice. That's my kindle in the background.
