Beautiful pictures and nice selection!

I have decided to add another color : BLUE.
Indigo Rose (OP from OSU) is the one I am thinking.

I grew Indigo Rose last year and although they are pretty, they aren't very flavorful (even when fully ripe). I grew Helsing ★★★★★★★★ Blues this year and they look like a smaller version of Indigo Rose. They do taste better as well.

They are the dark blue/purple ones in this picture:

UrbanHeirloom , That is an awesome harvest there. Beautiful color combination up there.
I love them all. A few more red would make it perfect. Enjoy !

I grow Indigos mostly for their ornamental /visual effect. I don't mind a slightly tangy taste. It goes well in a mixed salad.

Okee dokee. Please feel free to post your picture. Also naming the varieties can be helpful.

So many beautiful tomatoes,so many tastes, so much to look forward to. I grow a many colors /combinations as I can.

I talked to a man 72 years of age who had never heard of anything other than red tomatoes. Needless to say I had a lot to tell him.
