What have I missed?
 

I have tried making a list of all the varieties I have grown to date. I may have forgotten a few. My question is, are there any really great tasting varieties that you think are a must try?

This is my list, as best as I can remember. The ones with the question marks I have records of going into the garden but don't remember well, so I may not have gotten much from them. The ones with asterisks have been favorites. I only have room for 12 plants in my garden, although I usually include a few in pots as well. I like to try one new one each year. I now have more favorites than space, lol, so I rotate them in different years. But this year I find my list full with no new tomatoes on it. If you think there is a great tomato out there that I haven't tried, please let me know.

Blackberry, Work Release Paste, Terhune, Daniels, Daniel Burson, Not Purple Strawberry, Santa Maria, and Heidi have been the very best for me so far.

Girl girl's weird thing is my favorite of all the dark tomatoes!

Hi Sue,
I feel your pain - it's hard to fit in enough tomatoes! I'm sure you'll get all sorts of great recommendations here, but here are my three favorites so far:

Jutland: Paste shape but juicy and absolutely delious with very pretty growth habit
Meme Beauce: A beautiful pink slicer with an excellent balanced taste
Chocolate Cherry: Many people prefer Black Cherry, but to my taste buds (or garden or climate or selection) CC is richer, deeper, and not quite as sweet

There are so many great tomatoes to try, but if you want seeds for any of these, just PM me.

Daniels is on my list to try this year.

Aunt Ruby's German Green.
Lime Green Salad.

Worth

Earl's Faux is almost always my best tasting tomato.

Nice list, we like the same varieties. What about Ron's Carbon Copy, Verde Claro and Josefina for cherries, Bulgarian Triumph, Jumbo jim Orange or JimDandy, Olena Ukrainian, Little Lucky, Mat-Su Express?
Sue

Wow, some varieties I have never hear of! Thanks, I will start looking them up! Worth, I tried one green, was not impressed but I was too dumb to be able to tell when they were appropriately ripe, lol. I will look, I might already have seeds for one of those that I have never tried.

Eva purple ball has been great for me. Really worth a try.

Oh, I did try Eva Purple Ball, I will add it, thanks!

I really liked Mat-Su Express, from AKMark. I sent out a lot of seeds, and it seems to get good reviews.

Fáelán's First Snow stood-out among the 20 varieties I planted in-ground last year. It's a medium-sized brown beefsteak with variegated foliage.

If you have room for an extra pot... try Woolly Blue Jay. It's a dwarf, decorative plant with furry foliage. Small yellow & purple fruit.

Chapman did well for me last year. It was the first year for me. I also like Neves Azorean. It does well every year.
