Thank you, Marc_groleau.

Rose de Berne was a great tomato for me last year.
It's a nicely shaped, medium sized beauty with thin skin and great flavor.
It was very productive.

I agree! "It's a nicely shaped, medium sized beauty with thin skin and great flavor.

And I would like to add that it is fairly hardy and it will grow and produce fruit even when conditions are far from ideal.

I had to read through the thread to be sure I hadn't posted before about what is being grown for me this year here at home in the backyard. And my apologies for repeating this but primarily for new folks here,after I fell in Dec of 2004 and severed all the quads in my right leg and got put in a walker permanently I no longer can grow the several hundreds of plants and varieties I used to grow each year.

And since then I've sourced seeds for varieties that I hope will be new to all or most and have seed producers who do the seed production for my seed offers here,and some others just donate seeds already produced as well.

So,with that in mind,here's what's happening now.

Rob,a local young man and friend grows my seedlings for me from seeds I give him and brings them over here then Freda plants and takes care of them for me as she does with all the other stuff I grow here including lots of perennial gardens that I designed,other veggies, etc. Rob always brings extras since for many years I've given him seeds of my newest ones for himself, and then I give the plants away to others.

I am growing only ONE repeat this year and that's Zluta Kytice, a wonderful yellow multiflora that I know well and love.

Others on my list are, and I'm abbreviating many of them

Corazon
IATIEPAR
Annie Sunshine
Not Purple Strawberry
Eva Ste.Wendell
Sweet Ozark Orange,and I was in on the beginning of this one from Sam

Daniel Burson, can't belive I'd not grown it,considering the parentage

Sheryl's Portuguese Red Heart
Black Amber
Black Striped Heart
Japanese Pink Cherry
Rosedale
Dikaya Rozo
Little Dixie
Arad's Pink Heart
Ribera, a multiflora with beefsteak fruits, quite rare
An experimental black cherry multiflora

Next to way too many new to me tomatoes I grow 3 varieties from seeds I saved last year:
Oxheart
a mystery cherry that came from a commercial Supersweet 100 seed pack, but was significantly different to its 2 sister plants I grew from the same pack
a mystery orange beefsteak that came from seed labeled Marianna's Peace I had purchased on ebay

My comprehensive list of repeat tomatoes from last year:
- Brandywine

(I'm a small-space newbie gardener on year 3 in my yard. I'll also be trying some new-to-me container tomato varieties.)
