Not surprised, red is the 'real' tomato color

and the health benefits associated with lycopene come from the color red.

Looking forward to trying some of those striped ones... Just for the beauty.

Beautiful Steve! All of them. I guess I am not surprised red is the favored color.

This one was the best.

I'm still trying to love a red, so this gives me hope, Steve- looking forward to trying more of your new releases.

This is another really interesting tomato. It is always a thrill to collect a lot of recessive genes in a single plant.

This is a potato leaf white tomato with green stripes that turn to yellow. The ripening stages are really pretty on the plant. The mix of white, green and yellow all with the backdrop of big potato leaves were a sight to see. The best part is this was not your typical "mild" yellow. It had some punch. You knew you were eating a tomato for sure. It is also still setting fruit which means it might have some heat set properties as well.
