The Brandywine is my favourite of these 4.
Perfect colour and texture and full of flavour.

And just want to say THANK YOU to the multiple people already who have offered me seeds (if you read this).

I didn't really know what the etiquette for sharing seeds was on here, but it seems not a big deal and commonplace.
Maybe i will make a list of ones i am interested in that i don't already have one day to see if anyone can help me, but for this next year or 2 i have more than i can use, and i plan on making some crosses of my own to grow out and see what i find.

Well, tomatoes are still proving to be sensitive plants to me.... if it's not one problem it's another.... i still have a few plants producing fruit but a lot of them have succumb to blight and completely died.
I have some ideas for next season, including growing some varieties in pots, swapping my pepper patch and tomato patch and also lowering any expectation for what i will get and adding different vegetables just to take my mind off of the annual disappointment i get from subpar tomato harvests.

Here's a few nice tomatoes from the garden so far,

Yes, it's Uluru Ochre, probably my favourite new variety this year so far, along with pink and red Brandywine's.

Some varieties died before i even got any fruit from them at all, so will have to try again next season.
