Good tomatoes in a bad year

[Lindalana]

Here is some of my report. Year was bad for varied reasons, including soil problems at community gardens, very cold and rainy weather, blossom drops, stunted growth... so am unable to evaluate all my new varieties but some did really well. Am thinking it counts.
Tomato Pravda, seed from Doublehelix farms. Small plant up to 2 ft, det, oval red, early, saladette size. Very productive and not fussy. Taste sharp on acidic side but still sweet enough to count. Juicy.
Black plum- from Casey's. Should be in everyone's garden. Sweet, dark, lots.
Guido- workhorse. Loaded, large red beefs. Did very well with disease pressure. More acidic than sweet, juicy beef. Keeper.

Seed from Ukraine, only description I got " Yellow clusters" There are no clusters. Large big yellow orange beefs. Plants stood well all the weather/ soil troubles, Taste is middle ground- not too this or that but it is first yellow I decidedly like and can eat a lot. Not too juicy. Plant still standing almost pristine amid all fungal trouble.

Pink- same story. Early, large on a sweet side. First ones cracked badly but then we had tons of rain. Still producing well, no more cracks.

Pastes
Shedra Slivka Tarasenka from Tania- loaded paste. Probably just a bit on juicy side but tasty. Plant does very well with trusses of tasty plums. Keeper. Even in shady place it still trying to do its job.
Idaho hillibilly- loaded paste midseason firm, dry.
Pirkstine Orange- another loaded paste/ elongated plum with sweetish taste. Good enough to eat but does wonders with the sauce. I got seed from Canada but original seed from Latvia.
Khirkiv- looks like paste- small oval barrels but is too juicy to go that route. YUMMY! Loaded trusses and one of the few plants that still setting new flowers.
Serbian oxheart- bigger than golfball sized and there are tons of it. Juicy. Midseason.
Dagestanskiy- read above. Loaded.
Terhune- keeper for the taste alone but production is great considering all blossom drops issues I had. Got from MMM swap. Pink

Shirley S- from Tania- see above. Even my daughter who likes only darks, ate it and loved it. I got PL correct variant.

Birjinesekutsky- mouthful of the name, from city in Siberia. Large red. Excellent taste. Great production. Just right size and taste for a slicer.

Dana Dusky Rose- from Heritage. Keeper. Dark, productive, midseason. Plant did well.

George Detsikas- Newer not yet well known. Large red with green shoulders. EARLY for such size and production. Taste more on acidic side, productive.

Hearts

GLORIA- OMG, this is one heck of a hearts although more fruits are rather round. Large, early and taste great and there are PLENTY. Seed from Tania.

Sensay- early, large and taste great. Seed from MMM swap. Probably first heart together with

Mama Alla- seed from Tania, named after Tania's mom- early, large and taste wonderful.
