I grow them every year. I know they taste the same, but a tomato is suppose to be red!

I like them because they have more meat.

Yellow tomatoes are generally much less acidic than the red. Folks that have acid problems can usually tolerate the yellow better.

I grow a variety of colors red, orange, yellow, black (purple) and even ones that ripen green. They make a beautiful salad.

Good looking tomatoes Irwin.
I like the colors other than red better because as Scott said they are less acic and they do all have a little different flavor from each other.
I grow a variety of colors myself, its fun to see them all mixed in the vegetable garden.
I grow multi colored carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and potatoes as well.
I know, I know I am so wild and crazy, I have also been known to run with scissors on occasion.

Beautiful Tomatoes Irwin! The yellow & orange are my favorites, as others say, less acidic.  You are right Kathy, they don't seem to keep as long but sure are tasty! The farm I work at has the rainbow carrots also, they are fun & make interesting carrot salad.  Natalie, you are a wild one running with scissors! :-D
