What are your favorite tomatoes to grow?

I never go a year without Amish Paste. Big, heavy paste tomatoes with great flavor.

For cherry tomatoes we like Brownberry, a deep, rich tomatoey flavor and Golden Sun--pretty yellow that is VERY prolific.

Black Krim Sailor is the first tomato that my 15yo has liked. We tried it last year for the first time and it was a hit.

Dh likes Purple Prudens "the ugliest tomato". For me it's OK, but not better than Brandywine. But since we don't get consistently good results from Brandywine and we do from Prudens, we go with PP.

Every year I grow one yellow variety. Last year we tried Dr. Whyche's Yellow. It was a bad year for all our tomatoes, but this one did especially poorly. Since the flavor was nothing remarkable, I doubt I'll try it again. Same with Wapsiconin--I thought the skin was too thick, the flavor was too mild, the flesh was too dry. Not one we're going to try again.

Me, I can't grow a thing... my family's inherited black thumbs. But, on the bright side, my favorite tomatoes are.... red. We like to keep things simple.

Roma, Amish paste (new since last year), Early Girl, Health Kick, Yellow Pear (cherry).

Big Beef and Jetstar but I would like a good heirloom to try this year.

I always put in a early girl into Highlands mix. I always hope for that first one asap.
