Sungold Replacement

Al@NC · April 19, 2016

For those that love Sungold but decided to replace it, please share what you replaced it with. I like Sungold a lot but I'm eagerly wanting to replace it with something OP. I always buy a Sungold plant from nurseries every season but would like to replace it with something better.

This season I'm growing Painted Pink from J and L gardens, Black Hole Sun from Secret Seed Cartel, Zachary from Heirloomtomaguy and Bloody Butcher from saved seed along with one plant of Sungold.

Are you certain it's OP?

Is there somewhere on the site that a rookie can learn all the abreviations? OP, F1 etc?

Very observant of me! Thank you!

Apparently OP. Tatiana lists it as such. Here's an earlier thread.

Nothing is certain but death and taxes.

I planted a couple Sweet Orange II plants today. I have not had that variety before.

Why replace sungold? Seems to be the most popular variety on tomatoville!

I grew Painted Pink this spring; it is dynamite but it tastes nothing like sun gold.

I just would like to replace it if I can, so far I haven't found anything I like better than Sungold but I'm hopeful there's a OP out there I will like better.

I know that Painted Pink is nothing like Sungold, I just thought I would list the cherry tomatoes that I am growing this season (don't ask why

)...

I see J and L has a few cherries that look like they might could replace Sungold such as Josefina.

I might try Ambrosia Gold next season, since a couple of you like it.
