great pictures. I can clearly see what they actually look like and the colors are real. I see a lot of filtered, instagramed, photoshop enhanced photos of tomatoes here and there in internet land and I think they are beautiful as they are.

Nice of you to say, many thanks. I don't have any idea how to Photoshop things, lol.

Marsha, nice pictures.
You make me rethink my grow list. Some of the varieties I have seeds for and grew few years ago may come back.

Do you already have your grow list for 2018?

They all look so mouth-wateringly delicious (except for the rat-chewed one

)

Marsha will be influencing my grow list yet again

Growing it again for sure.

I am editing it, thanks to you. He, he, ...Tried to downsize number of tomato plants. Tried.

My DH has kidney stone pain once again. Tomatoes are not recommended in large amounts. I am making room for other veggies: broccoli, Napa cabbage/Chinese cabbage, celery, beans, peppers, dill, Tatsoi, scallions, cucumbers, arugula...

So hard to pass on new varieties, specially if they have being praised for few years by many. I am interested in trying Sweet Ozark Orange. Is it more similar to KBX or Orange jazz (OJ in container gave me almost 15 pounds)? And your Not Chocolate Stripes seems to be very popular as well.

btw How is the size of your La Vie En Rose? My were about 3-6 ounces. The taste was lovely. The production was above average. Not sure if our seeds came from the same place.

My LVER are fairly small too. I haven't tasted one yet,both ripened and rotted so far. Newer ones don't have the stem end gouges, so I am hopeful. I think SOO is closer to KBX, but really it's it's own flavor.

Pink Berkeley Tie Dye
Orange Jazz, not ripe
Crnkovic Yugoslavian, haven't tasted, excellent production.
McKinley(fantastic taste and production)

ginger2778 · December 30, 2017

Linda's Faux, is a PL, has red medium fruit haven't tasted any of these posted today
Grandma Oliver's Chocolate
Orange Russian 117- this thing is huge. Grest taste, low to moderate production
Prime F4 will have F5 seeds,(not being offered) antho clear epi, stripes, extremely high production, very good to excellent flavor , breeder is Russ Aceto

ginger2778 · December 30, 2017

Not Chocolate Stripes, is a not because it's PL, also sweeter, and almost multiflora blooms and fruit set, but yet beefsteak. Delicious!
Large Lucky Red, PL, large red fruit, don't know the taste yet
Not Purple Strawberry, compared to Cherokee purple, only a little smaller and way more productive. Delicious!
Chocolate Stripes, more acid, larger fruit RL.

Ricky Shaw · December 31, 2017

Hola. Very nice! The crnkovich yugoslavians are my absolute favorites with great production and superb taste. If I could only grow one, this would be it. Let us know how what you think of the taste and texture.

ginger2778 · December 31, 2017

Chocolate Lightening, a dwarf
Not Vintage Wine, seeds from Craig L, he highly recommended it.
Daniels, always tastes fantastic
Grightmire's Pride I adore this one. Thanks Kath for the good fresh seeds.
