My favorites so far are Wes, That Russian Tomato, and Sheryl’s Portuguese Red Heart. Druzba is nice, and the determinate Sibersky Skorospelyi.

It may be I am never sure with some of the very dark pinks. Besides beautiful super tasty tomatoes it has some of the worst looking foliage; but I can live with that. My one and only Dester I planted on the 24th of March and it has just now totally quit producing. It has blooms on it but no new fruit so I will be pulling it since there probably insn't enough time left before frost to make and grow and ripen any new fruit. I think it is about time to get out there and start cutting off growth tips on the rest of my plants to speed up fruit growth. I may be jumping the gun because we have had years where winter didn't get here til Christmas but I would rather finish a bit early than have to see a bunch of green fruit frozen.
