hello Paul,

definitely my favourite subject! lol

I can’t or don’t really know how to describe the flavours, however I can vouch that I have tried over 50 varieties since we established our garden. And the impression of decent tasting toms.

mid-size to beefsteak :
vintage wine and chocolate stripes (very similar in colours and stripes – love the flavour)
omars lebanses (large, I had mine at about 13-14 cm)
black from tula
sundrop

other cherry varieties:
black cherry and chocolate cherry (very similar too, but I noticed the latter doesn’t crack as much as the former)
sungrape F1
supersweet 100 F1
sweet million F1

I am trying a few new varieties this year, namely
amish paste
green zebra
Cherokee purple
indigo rose
jaune flame
pantano romanesco
costoluto fiorentino
sweet aperitif F1
Suncherry premium F1
Modus F1
Apero F1
Rosada F1
Ace 55 VF
Harzfeuer F1
Maskotka

I have been reading this book ‘Epic Tomatoes’ by Craig LeHoullier… he is supposed to be a tomato expert… also mentioned by Mark Diacono 🙂

There´s way too many varieities out there and too short a planting season!
