What new varieties did you grow this year...

[barryla61]

...that you will definitely grow again next year???

This was my first year trying heirlooms and of the 20 or so that I tried here's the ones that will be planted again next year...

Cherokee Purple
Matina
Pineapple
Omars Lebanese

Eva Purple Ball and Sunset Red Horizon are "maybes" depending on how much room I have.

[Douglas14]

Of the new one's I grew this year, Desters likely has the best chance at being grown again next season. A top notch Beefsteak IMO.

[horses4jess]

Blush and Perth Pride are my new growouts that make the list for next season. If Amazon Chocolate rates above a 6 on flavor, it will certainly make another appearance. My single trial plant is setting more fruit than any OP I've ever grown. All fruits still in the greenie stage, but sheer numbers have been very impressive.

[ContainerTed]

African Queen, Faworyt, Bulgarian Old Sort, Kelly Green, Sweet Sue, Summer Sunrise, and, of course, Maiden's Gold.

[kath]

Of the ones new to me this year, Barlow Jap, Copper River, Daniels, Indian Stripe x possibly Daniels and PPP x PP x C have the best chance of being grown again but they're all maybes.

[tam91]

Indian Stripe PL - very productive and tasty. Brad's Black Heart - the best heart I have had to date. Lots that I'll grow again, but I had most of them last year also.

[greyghost]

Dester's, Dixiewine, Brandywine from Croatia, Granny's Heart, Crnkovic
Yugoslavian were the top 5 in our garden for '12. Darlene

Margaret Curtain (black tomato, superior flavor)
Nile River Egyptian (I only got one fruit, but its
flavor was so good that I will grow it again just
to cross it with something earlier and more productive
with verticillium tolerance)
A Bear Claw x Unknown cross (excellent flavor, first
in the garden to set fruit in 2012)
Tasmanian Chocolate

We started out 2012 with 10 weeks <= 60F, so there
were several new-to-me varieties that had good flavor,
but I have no idea what their average production is like
yet.

Hoy / very large, productive, fairly early, very good taste
Limbaughs Potato Top/ very productive, good taste, a little later in the season
Barlow Jap/ large / fairly productive, good taste
Stump Of The World / very similar to Barlow Jap in production, size, and taste
Indian Stripe/ medium production, large, very good taste
KBX/ medium production, fairly large, outstanding taste
Hillbilly/ medium production, large, beautiful colors, great taste
JD's Special C Tex / very productive, large to medium size , great taste

For me it will be:
Blush
Korol Sibiri
Nature's Riddle
Rayce Tisk Hroznove
Sister Miriam - I got only ONE single fruit (was planted too late and had a bad place in the garden). This fruit had NO seeds, but was absolutely delicious!! I do hope to germinate the seeds that are left from a trade! clara

[bluebonnets]

New ones for me that I "must" grow again...

Blush (delighted with them)
Big Cheef (really cranked them out)
KBX (gorgeous, delicious)
Rebel Yell (great tomato)
Kosovo (flavor wow, production ho hum)
Tater Kin (flavor wow)
Tommy Toe

...and then there's Pervaya Lyubov, who's flavor was good but not as good as the others but... It kept on producing like nobody's business. Silly thing was out there in hundred plus producing small tomato bites. Didn't even get the best of care.

[livinonfaith]

Kibic for sure. Those tiny little plants just kept going and going. Also Yellow Trifele, KBX, Black Cherry, White Rabbit and one of the experimental dwarves.

Honestly, most of my tomatoes didn't do well this year, but I've heard the same from almost everyone I've spoken to in my area, so it may have just been a bad year. Too much rain.

Cherries: Prize of the Trials will replace Sungold
Mirabelle Blanche Mild flavor, smaller plant, prettiest pastel pink
Paste: Kenosha Paste- very large plant with great red paste type tomatoes
Wild Boar Farms: Beauty Queen-pretty inside and outside, very tasty
Sweet Carneros Pink- Couldn't even hazard a guess how many pretty
and flavorful tomatoes I got from that plant

Aunt Lou's Underground Railroad. Loved the story. Decent tasty tomato
African Queen- Beautiful plant, tasty pink beefsteal tomatoes
Hearts: Fish Lake Oxheart
Tsar Kolokol
Gildo Pietroboni
Vera's Seed
I am crazy about those meaty yet so flavorful, multiuse hearts.
Bicolor: Hawaiian Pineapple. Incredibly sweet. I had to keep reminding myself that I wasn't eating a melon.

Green When Ripe: Cherokee Green. Wonderful flavor and extreme production
Early: Matina. By far, the tastiest early tomato I have ever had.
Reds: Jean's Prize. What a great tomato
Mortgage Lifter, Halladays
Gold-Winsall Gold Great flavor and production
Summertime Gold: Great container plant with mild flavored but beautiful tomatoes.
Very productive.
Currant: Ted's Pink Currant--You'll be hearing more about this variety Carolyn I think.
Very sweet and productive as well as trouble free

[MikeInCypress]

A bunch of the Dwarfs - Beryl Beauty, Dwarf Mr Snow, Summertime Green, Yukon Quest, Iditarod Red - great production and in general the tastes I look for in a tomato.
Casino Chips - most productive red cherry - good in salads.
Blush - maybe will take the place of Juliet.

I'll be growing a few more of the hearts. Good both sliced and cooked. Hope to find some Fish Lake Oxheart. Want to keep it to 48 plants this year but that means at least 55.

Mike,

Tell me more about "blush" please. I've been looking for a long time for a legitimate tomato producing machine to replace my almost tasteless Juliet. Our daughter loves the Juliet because she can use them on salads and take bags of them home to share with neighbors who also seem to like them. I don't eat them because I prefer tomatoes with some bite in the taste. I get tired of needing to harvest them with a shovel at the end of the season.
