Default New future varieties

Shapes and colors coming out of my improved shelf life lines.
Not talking hard, tough skin and inedible, just selecting for some hang time quailities that appear on very edible tomatoes.
Most of these are F-2 and F-3.

Really excited about this F-3 Beauty King cross.
Great looks, sweet-fruity flavor and great production.

This is an F-2 from a Berkeley Tie-Dye Heart that was dark wine colored. Got alot of crazy shapes when I grew out 120 plants this year. This is one of the more interesting shapes. Very rich-sweet flavor(most tomatoes this color are for me).

Very nice. Looking forward to starting the seeds I just received from you. Even more anxious to taste them.

Feral:

What is the size on the third pic? Those almost look like black Speckled Romans! Fascinating. You wouldn't need any help growing those out, would you?

They do look fascinating!!! And the Beauty King cross as well! I hope, Feral, that some day you release them, so that they can grow even in Germany. Thanks for those beautiful pics! clara

Brad, more winners for sure. I need your help Brad. The following pictures are from my grow out of Pork Chop which obviously it's not and the seed was from Al Anderson. Any ideas as to what it could be. Appreciate your time. Ami

Feral, Fabouloso tomatos, I grew 9 of your varietys this past year, absolutly fantastic. I have a couple of your new varietys for this next year can't wait to get started. I'll be looking forward to trying that purple striped paste looking variety once you get it stablized.

Brad's Black Heart is the best black tomato, imo. Good work.
