Was it BBH47? I am looking at my notes, and I think that is the one you had.

One of Fred Hempel's (unreleased) bumble bee hybrids was outstanding -- easily the best tomato of the year! (I'm lucky enough to live in the area, and I got some extra plants.)

I also liked Iva's Red Berry, which was quite small -- between small cherry and currant size -- and took forever to pick, which is why I usually don't grow currants, or grow them only in containers where their size is restricted.
