They taste good, but I can't ean more than a few without my tongue burning. The larger tomatos aren't ripe yet so I don't know if they share the same problem. Is there anything I can do to fix the tomatos yet to come? How about next year? thanks warren -- _ __ __ |/ \/ \ |___|___|/ | | | /

I don't know how to change the acidity of tomatoes, and I seem
to recall that that is one of the genetic characteristics - i.e.,
you need to pick a less acidic strain to grow. After growing
Sweet 100's for the first time 8 years ago, it's the only cherry
tomato I bother with - scrumptious, sweet, low acidity, extremely
prolific throughout the season, and very tolerant of erratic
watering, morning fogs, and wide temperature ranges. It's a bit
late for this season, but you might want to try some next year.
Several seed companies carry them; I got mine from Park.
