Hi Kristy:

Here are some descriptions of the varieties you mentioned. Hope this helps. Glad to hear you and Angelique have them in the ground already, they were getting too big for those cups.

Cougar Red:

Garden City Seeds: Their description:

This is a new red tomato that has been grown and tested for cool summer temperatures with a short growing season. This meaty, medium sized fruit is good for whole tomato home processing. The flavor is a good mixture of sugar and low acid. This variety will ripen until frost. Plants of Cougar Red are vigorous and semi-determinate.

Krasnodor Titans:

Sandhill Preservation: Their description:

85 days. Indeterminate, large, red flattened globe.

Description from rareseeds.com:

This rare Russian heirloom was featured in Mother Earth News in Oct/Nov 2003. The large fruit are renowned for rich, full-bodied, old-fashioned flavor. Taste this tomato and you will see why families in Krasnodar have been saving this variety since the 1880's. Growers rave about how beautiful and productive this tomato is.

Simpson’s Summer Palace:
