I will return to this thread as many new to me varieties have yet to ripen. So far we've tried 3 new to us varieties. So far the run away winner is Sunrise Bumblebee. Only had 1 so far (7/14) but it sure was delicious!

It's a race between Orange Jazz and Maglia Rosa as to which ripens first s I can eat a homegrown tomato! I'm trying a slew of dwarfs and they are all weeks behind these two although they all went in the ground together.
Thank yoiu Fred.

I don't know about the best, but Garden Treasure is very good. It has a nice shape and yields good too. I also grew Belyy Gigant for the second year, it is a yellowish- white beefsteak that is much better than I expected, throws large fruit and also yields very good. Anyway, I don't see these names floating around much, and they were very good to me, the latter is something different to try.

I think so Barb, the plant was gifted to me. How did it do for you? Garden Gem is pretty tasty too, and produces loads of golf ball size fruits.

I haven't been growing many types in past years but did get seeds in swaps last year and PBTD is the best tasting to me. I plan on growing a few for a fall crop too.

That PBTD looks a lot like my dwarf Chocolate Lightning.

I've been seeing many tomatoes that look like these from overseas FB posts lately, I didn't think that coloring was that popular.

There's a bunch with that pattern: Girl Girl's Weird Thing, Black and Brown Boar, Large Barred Boar, and Ania all come to mind. I'm sure there are others.
