Dwarf Golden heart not so dwarfie but the plant in back was sweet very mild the plant in front was still sweet and mild but more of a tomato taste to it. BLT, miracle whip tomato sandwich just tomato and miracle whip. NOM

These all sound so good. Between the drought here in CA and a lack of heat the wait is excruciating! All your tomato (and strawberries) stories keep me going.

Medovaya Kaplya is sweet with a touch of tang. My exact words after eating the first one, "This one is a must-grow".

Hmmm, may be the start of my 2016 list.

Nectar cherry tomato was my first. On 2015 06 10. I think that is a record for me! Not bad for zone 6a/5b! A good start to the season. it has about 6 ready any second.
My first hell yeah though was my strawberries, a huge crop this year.
Nothing else has anything near ripe or even fruit. Other cherries do, but no regular tomatoes yet. My plants though are growing strong and have ton's of flowers. Temps are perfect for fruit formation.

How did you find the Nectar tomato? Some have claimed it is the sweetest tomato, with highest brix and lowest ph.

Parkseed is selling it. So far I'm not impressed. I guess the low acid taste is not my cup of tea. The wife should love them. I think they are nothing special. I like Sungold a lot better. Sungold has some tang. Jasper too was really good though it tended to have a lot of small fruit.
