I know there are a few more strewn around my seed desk somewhere...


Ordinarily, I would grow at least this many varieties, but I'm doing several growouts for desegregation (most not listed here). I need help whittling down this list!

I fear I'm short on market-worthy reds, so if you see a particularly good red on my list, please point it out. And if you see any variety you would rate low for some reason, I'd love to hear about it. Let's get cuttin'!

Thanks,
johno

Real nice list there, Johno. I only have experience with a few of them and they were good ones for me.

Thanks stratcat.

Here's what I'm "down" to...

Growouts:
CBX209: Cherokee Purple x Bradley. This F2 seed produces large crops of 5 – 8 ounce, smooth, slightly flattened globes with sweet, mellow flavor. This seed has proven itself in Alabama and Mississippi with laudable results. Make your own selections toward an indeterminate, semi-indeterminate, or determinate variety.

Big Cheef F6 is an example of a superior tomato variety stabilized from an original mystery cross of Brandywine Sudduth and an unknown green flesh tomato in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

GCXPL09: Potato leaf vine ultra-productive of medium sized, fasciated, lumpy, red fleshed, sweet salad tomato with sufficient zip to taste old-fashioned. Mystery cross found in pack of Golden Cherokee seeds in 2009

CL310Y: Golden Cherokee x GWR. This F3 seed throws both clear yellow and clear green-when-ripe recombination, both with a slight pink blush on the blossom end during warmer weather

MOX311S: This seed, grown in 2011, is the F3 line of Mozark x Sioux as selected from semi-indeterminate plants that showed strong and continual production of near perfect, blemish free, red slicer/canners with an excellent, balanced flavor and very tight blossom scars. Ripened in Zone 6b at 120 days from seed or about 65 – 70 days from transplant.

BCM-311: This F3 seed is another recombining sister line to Big Cheef exhibiting jumbo size maroon fruit with superior flavor and heat setting capabilities.

GGYS-PL: The cross of Green Giant x Yellow Submarine has yielded several interesting and tasty recombinations in the F2, F3 and F4 generations.

Reverend Michael Keyes - Sweet Beverly x Black plum f2

(Lucky Cross x Big Beef) x Black Cherry f2

Ananas Noire x Purple Haze f1

Big Beef x Indian Stripe f2

Kozula #125 Czarna Zebra

Brandy Boy f6


White:
Fantome du Laos "I’m impressed with this white tomato. It is very productive, and though mild tasting, it is by no means flavorless. I found them having a very pleasant fruit flavor, and I would choose to grow them again before some other pink or reds I have grown. The color stays very light. Some of the fruit develop a pink blush on the bottom, but not all, so don’t use that as an indicator of ripeness."
