Our favorite looking tomatoes that we have ever grown are Helsing ★★★★★★★★ Blue. This is an internet pic, I'll dig through picture archives to find ones we grew. They will be grown again this upcoming spring. They did do well through the RKN.

Here was some of mine:

By far one of my best producing cherries this year. One of the first to produce fruit (started in mid June) and it is still one of my strongest producers in late September. Good flavor as well. You can't go wrong with Helsing ★★★★★★★★ Blues!

My last entry: Lucid Gem

This was one of my favorite new varieties I grew this year. Great looks and flavor.

Wow! Pretty ones. My fanciest tomato this season is JD's Special C-Tex. I stayed kind of basic this year so I'm jealous of all the really interesting ones.

Ironically my prettiest fruit was also a candidate for ugly - pitted and scarred from being grown outdoors.

But the color made me stop and say wow. The stripes on this one are really broad, and they didn't diminish as it ripened, but stayed cherry red against burgundy - no Beta in this one.

I had a lot of new ones this year. Here's some that really made the camera blush.

In the order they appear:

Chocolate Stripes
Angora Orange
Big Orange Volunteer
Blue Beauty #1
Blue Beauty #2
Girl Girl's Weird Thing
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Purple Bumble Bee
Shadow Boxing Type 4

Great pics, everyone.

Whoever named Plan 9 from Outer Space gets the creativity award.

GGWT looks identical in appearance to the dwarf variety, Chocolate Lightning.

And that Shadow Boxing 4 looks like my Gargamel. Here is Gargamel, and the two oblong cherries are Shadow Boxing:
