Pink Honey was awfully good this year!

Terhune is my favorite pink beefsteak 2 years in a row! I also grew Frank's Large Red and the production was really poor in comparison to almost every other pink beefsteak in the garden this year. Since others are including hearts, I'll mention that I enjoyed both Work Release Paste and Hays' Tomato much more than Siberian Pink Honey, which was very blah tasting in my conditions.

I'll second that pink honey. Mine came as Siberian pink honey. All though there is not supposed to be any difference.

Lincoln-Adams. Up to 2 lb fruit on vigorous vines that stood up to the disease pressure.

BW, Cowlicks, Malinowy Olbrzym, Mariannas Peace, Rose, and, of course, Terhune.

Liz Birt did very well for the second year in my conditions. Production about the same as Pink Honey, but much tastier.

I haven't tried it yet, though I ordered the seeds yesterday, but Olena Ukrainian is supposed to be a large pink tomato that's pretty productive.

I quite liked Aunt Ginny's Purple

Sandul Moldovan- can't beat the production or the dense, creamy flesh!

Omar's Lebanese
Large Pink Bulgarian
Tidwell German
Sandul Moldovan
Olena Ukranian
Chris Ukranian
Dr. Neal
Gogosha
Lincoln -Adams
Lithuanian
Soldacki

....... just to name some new ones others haven't and to also repeat some that others have mentioned.

I'm pretty sure Tania has pages for all of them at her website if you don't know some of them and want to check them out.

Many good one's mentioned.
I'll add Weisnicht's Ukrainian. It's a large, dark pink beefsteak, that's meaty and juicy, and has an intense flavor. Old time flavor may describe it, as it definitely has a "bite" to it. It may be a little too juicy for my liking on sandwiches though.

wolfwalkerpa · September 27, 2012

Planted 6 Siberian pink honey plants. more tomatoes than i could dry or eat..Friends loved them. My Brandyboy and Mariana peace fizzled this summer.

Alpinejs · September 27, 2012

Douglas....I just inquired on another thread about any sources for seeds for Weisnicht's
Ukranian. Do you know a seed source. Tania doesn't list any. Glad to hear it did well in
Minn. as I am just across the lake from Minn. in Ontario.
