Texas Wild - August 12
Tiny little thing with strong balanced flavor. I hate cutting each fruit to remove seeds - but I was still doing it, as I wanted both the seeds and the remains of the fruit in my salad

Sleeping Lady - August 12
Nice tomato, but I was somewhat disappointed with its small size - I expected larger fruits. It is very productive and early.

Lollipop - Augiust 12
This is another cherry tomato that I did not have high expectations for, but it surprised me with a sweet fruity taste. I thought it was better tasting than early Galina's fruits!

506 Dwarf Bush Early - August 15
This sweetie took its time to mature fruit. The plants got caught outside in a freezing spell back in April, and it took time to recover. I did not have much hope for them, and was surprised by good fruit set.
Both plants gave me a range of interesting fruit shapes, from round to hearts to flattened and ribbed cuties. Very sweet flavor (I am guessing it is perhaps a result of the stress they were subjected to). No seeds in the first dozen of fruits.

Perfect Storm - August 15
This is Tom Wagner's creation with late blight resistance. However, the plant did get some late blight damage (while its neighbour Tomadose Des Comores did not).
Acidic taste, gives a good 'kick' to a salad. Nice firm flesh.

Tomadose Des Comores - August 15
Well, this one was another surprise for me. I had seeds from 2 different sources, and got PL plants from one of them and RL from the other. Other than the leaf type, everything else is identical - fruits, color, earliness, growth habit, and even late blight resistance (which was remarkable). I am guessing the PL variant may have been a mutation.

Black Krim - August 16
Wow, first large tomato in my garden this year! No surprise that it was Black Krim, as it has always been quite early for me.
I am growing plants from 2 sources to compare, and so far everything is identical - fruit color (beautiful purple, clear epidermis), size, productivity, fruit shape. We yet to compare flavor side-by-side.

Taimyr - August 16
Supposedly a very early Russian tomato, but we were joking that a few 'Americans' beat it for earliness. Still early though!
Firm flesh, nice flavor. Typical 'tough' Russian ('tough' not in terms of fruit, but in terms of cold tolerance, don't get me wrong! ) It is a determinate dwarf (tree-type) plant.

Sibirjak - August 16
Remarkably early and nice flavored. Would be my fav 'Russian' for an early medium red tomato.

Sonica - August 16
Another segregation line of the Sungold F1 x Mom's cross, with a very cure shape and interesting coloring. I suppose it is technically a red tomato, but it goes through an interesting color change as a ripens, remaining sort of bi-colored for a long long time. It is also a very good keeper, and unbelievable producer. It is worth continuing stabilization efforts.

Aunt Ruby's Yellow Cherry - August 16
This one blew me away by its unbelievable productivity. The plant suffered some late blight damage, and I had to remove almost all the foliage in the attempt to control the spread of the disease. Basically I got a bare plant with loads of cherry fruits that continue to ripen on the vine and I continue to pick dozens every day. Wild sweet flavor.
