Roper, that was one of my favorites last year. You're gonna love it! If you pick it when it is yellow with pale green stripes, it tastes like a great lemonade, if you let it ripen to orange with yellow stripes, it tatses really exotic, sweet and fruity! It is a tomato for everyone!

I'm looking forward to it. One has sprouted already. I have started so
many varieties. A 2007 amish paste that I purchased from SSE popped up fairly quick, so I'm happy about that. Iva, too bad you didn't get the seeds I sent you. I was very careful with the address. Maybe customs took it. |

I got them, I actually got them!!! They were in today's mail! I don't know why it took them so long to get here (they were sent on Jan 20th), but I'm glad they did. And just in time for sowing too as that will be done by the end of this week!! Thank you so much!!!

None of Gate's varieties are on my grow list this year. I have had bad luck the past two years with them. The fruit I did get was amazingly delicious, but production was very low. I'll put them back in the rotation again one of these seasons though. Black and Brown Boar was my favorite of them all though.

I'm trying Brad's Black Heart and BTDR this year. I think the place I bought seeds was out of the pink BTD. What is the red like? Is it good like the pink?
I have so many varieties started, I need to make some choices. Trying to choose between Goose Creek, Lucky Cross and these two. I also have a couple of Nyagous started but I think they'll go on Craig's list. |
