A lot of good ones there. Moskvich is one of my favs for a reasonably early. It will take cool weather well.

Amoung others I grew coyote and just loved the flavor. Opalka was my favorite red paste last year. I'm going to put in more of them than I did last year. All my tomatoes suffered from the drought, but those two did better than many others.

Wow! what a list. I love Snow White and Green Grape. Please sent pictures as the season progress.

Thats quite a list. I have a slight preference for the blacks. The brandywines don't perform as well for me.

Good Luck,
Rick

An impressive grow list and, of course, I like it in that it duplicates so many of mine. To
underscore a few of my faves......
CHEROKEE GREEN!!

Madara: sweet, productive, but virtually all juice and seeds
Kimberly: sweet, productive, very early
Native Sun: early and productive but not much flavor for me (bland)
Moskvich: good flavor, fairly early
Koroleva: good production, balanced flavor, more sweet than tart
Earl's Faux: flavor++
Burztyn: good flavor and production; a report from Oklahoma had
it suffering in mid-summer heat
Lucky Cross: tasty but late; needs a lot of degree days to bring in
a crop

You may find a lot of variation in how cultivars stand up to your
mid-summer heat, depending on how hot it gets. Some will love it,
others not so much, even if they are excellent tomatoes at a little
cooler temperatures.
