Suggest a yellow for me.

[walt456]

I've always had a block against yellow tomatoes. To me they just don't have the flavor I associate with a good tomato. I like really acidic flavor in tomatoes. I've grown dozens of varieties of both heirloom and hybrid tomatoes but never include yellows. I know there has to be a yellow variety out there that I would like. What are the yellows you guys consider to be must haves in your garden?

There is a thread here somewhere. I've got to go to the store right now, but I'll try to find it.

Galina's Yellow aka Galina. Has a balanced taste, not sweet. I think it's very good. Some people said Aunt Gertie's Gold, which I'm trying this year.

KBX has always been great for me. Dr. Wyche's Yellow has also been very good.

I'll second Galinas Yellow. Heard great things about Aunt Gertie's Gold but it's not a great bet for me because of late season - should do fine in VA though!

Hard to beat a Kellogg's breakfast or Brandywine yellow. But those didn't yield much for me and they were pretty sweet with just a hint of tartness. But certainly not bland like many yellows. Last year I grew one of Chris's F1 hybrids. That was like POW. Burst of flavor. Also Sungold F! is very good yellow that you can pick at the yellow stage for tartness, or let get orange for sweetness.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll order some Galinas, Gerties and KBX. I think I have some Kellogg's breakfast seeds in my stash already.

Where do you get the Chris' hybrids?

There are dwarf yellows from our dwarf project-Summertime Gold, Dwarf Sweet Sue, Summer Sunrise, Sean's Yellow Dwarf. All are excellent varieties if you are interested in a dwarf.

[walt456]

I'll do some research on the dwarfs. I've never grown them, but I'm not opposed to giving them a try. All I need is a little encouragement to try another variety.

Kellogg's Breakfast regular leaf or KBX. Might also try Hawaiian Pineapple.

[nancyruhl]

Since you said yellow, I actually would call Kelloggs Breakfast and Aunt Gerties Gold and Hawaiian Pineapple not the right color. They are oranges. I have several yellows I recommend. Casey's Pure Yellow is great. Also last season these were all very tasty--Kentucky Cabin, Summertime Gold (not really gold), and Aunt Viney's Yellow and Pink. T C Jones is one from the past that is getting another go around this year in our garden because we liked it before.

It's more of an orange/gold then a true yellow but I am very fond of Elfie. I've grown it several years now and it delivers good, strong tomato flavor for me. I don't like many of the yellow/orange/golds because I find most of them bland but Elfie has been a keeper for me and the flavor has convinced a lot of my friends to grow it on a regular basis, as well. On top of that, it has great texture, very little seed or gel, very solid flesh. Almost never cracks and is productive most of the season.

[walt456]

Shelleybean, the Elfie sounds interesting. My main complaint with the yellows I've tried in the past is they're bland. Elfie may be promising. I'm not set on pure yellow. Orange or gold varieties are fine.

[SharonRossy]

AGG was great. This year I'm trying Brandywine yellow plat foot. The other varieties which are more orange than yellow are Valencia Striped German and Azoyychka. I grew Orange Strawberry which made a great sauce but I wasn't crazy about it as a fresh tomato.

Tom's Yellow Wonder

KBX for sure...look at my Avatar.

Golden cherokee did great for me here in NC
