Snow White Heirloom Tomatoes in Janesville, IL
I recently had the chance to visit the Janesville Rotary Botanic Gardens (NW IL) where I had a chance to taste some Snow White Heirloom tomatoes - which I learned wins a tasting contest like every year. I'd estimate that I ate about 15 right off the plant - and no joke they were easily the best little tomatoes I've ever had. They're small like cherry or plum tomatoes so the yield is considerable.
