Default Results for my Indeterminate varieties so far.....

Wow - when it rains it pours! Actually, it hasn't rained nearly enough...and it's been incredibly hot. But - we've gone from no tomatoes to too many tomatoes very quickly! You all know I am up to my eyeballs in dwarfs this year - but also a nice, interesting selection of indeterminate varieties, which are coming in nicely. Here is what I am growing, days to maturity, size, and flavor ratings to date.


Caitlin's Lucky Stripe - 72 days, work in progress - not striped; 3-4 ounce oval, pink/yellow, yet to taste
Cherokee Chocolate - 59 days, crossed (from 1998 seed - next to Eva Purple Ball that year), 2 oz red, very tasty - 7.5, incredibly productive, likely F1
Cherokee Green - 68 days, typical (amber skin, green flesh), 6-12 ounce oblate, just delicious - 8+
Cherokee Purple - yet to ripen, make a transcription error - from 1999, this is actually a bicolor from a fruit I bought years ago at the farmers market (it was evident early on looking at the plant/flowering habit it was not Cherokee Purple!)
Piennolo - 64 days, 2 oz red pyriform (paste type), not too fond of it - 6 or so, will use for sauce or drying
