May 2017

Lizzano (charming dwarf already producing lots of super tasty cherries)

Cherokee Chocolate

Greengold

Michael Pollan (read his excellent recent book so giving him props)

Summer of Love (supposed to be an improved Berkeley Tie Dye)

Black Seaman* (super tasty and beautiful. first tomato of size had BER but next ones seem to be holding up)

Black Cherry* (hard to beat)

Black Ethiopian (really looking forward to these)

Fourth of July (needed a hardy, reliable red for a shared garden. So far so good)

Rutgers 250 (new and improved...plant seems a bit weak/slow where I have it)

Sweet Tangerine

Clementine (loaded with fruit in pretty clusters)

Brown and Black Boar* (loved this last year)

Sunchocula*

Isis Candy (have it next to public walk where kids can pick some as they walk past)

Ones with asterisk I've done before. Went to Tomatomania and was seduced by enthusiastic testimonials. Stoked, so far...vigorous, healthy plants with lots of flowers and little green tomatoes. No room for many of my standards such as Black Krim, Green Zebra, Sungold
