My votes:
Green when ripe is [COLOR=darkgreen][B]Green Giant[/B][/COLOR], but if I had a write-in - Malachite Box (Malakhitovaya Shkatulka) is by far the best tasting green when ripe tomato I have grown. Darks, Cherokee Purple. Pinks, I'm going to choose Stump of the World because it is a parent of Rebel Yell. Rebel Yell is now a must-grow in my garden. [URL]http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Rebel_Yell[/URL] Orange, I don't know? I can suggest a lot of orange cherry tomatoes though. |
All my own of course are the best ;)

Worth |
Copia, for me anyway, was a heart-shaped bicolor. It looked identical to Orange Russian 117, but did not taste nearly as sweet.

Love seeing everyone's lists and I am growing some of those this year. I have only been growing OP's/Heirlooms for 4 years so I don't have much to compare but these have impressed me so far:
Red: Chapman, Russian 117 Pink: Brandywine Sudduth, Pruden's Purple Bi-Color: Armenian GWR: Aunt Ruby's German Green, Green Zebra Dark: Cherokee Purple, Black Krim Yellow/Orange: Kellogg's Breakfast, Azoychka |
I had asked charley to put up his own thread, based on some back and forth in the other thread, if any of you saw that,so I'm glad Charley decided to do it.:)

I only have one favorite red tomato that I keep liking every time I grow it.
Neves Azorean Red beefsteak. If you haven't grown this tomato you should give it a try. For the bi color it is Orange Russian 117 yes it is a bi color heart. Both of these tomatoes go equally well on a cheese burger made with fresh home ground chuck cooked medium rare or a good BLT with flabby bacon and real mayonnaise. That is about all I have to offer.

I grew it twice, once before, did terrible, and this year, fantastic. This year most did fantastically well. NAR in a good year is great. |
