Well i went crazy this year and have pretty much every color, bi color, and color striped variation out there. The one new color for me will be uluru ochre which is kinda orange/brown/black i suppose. I cant wait to put them all together in a cornucopia of color.

This is my tomato collection from the 2013 season. I had white tomesol, black krim, copia (which didn't present stripes really at all...), pink zapotec (awesome flavour), green zebra, amana orange, and for cherries I think I had black cherry, sungold, and sugary.
I haven't uploaded photos before, sorry it took so long! Last edited by LindyAdele; April 12, 2015 at 04:12 PM. Reason: fixed images |

And... here are last years photos.
I grew Marianna's Peace, Amana Orange, Pink Zapotec, Black Cherry, Indigo Blueberries, Tess's Landrace, Ildi, Blush, Aunt Ruby's German Green, and what I thought was Copia, but turned out to be Green Copia instead, and what I thought was Black Krim but turned out to be a Baby Krim. |
