best tasting anthro tomatoes?
 

Hi! I've decided to give tomato gardening another big chance after a few 'off' years. It's probably too late to get new seeds this year, I've decided so I'm going to just grow out what I have on hand from saving past years. BUT Because it's making me happy to think about and this winter has been extra snowy and dark I'm planning to expand my garden beds this spring to make room for more tomatoes, and will put extra effort intothe soil this year to get ready for new things.

[B]What are your favourite anthro tomatoes to grow? I'm considering Alice's Dream, Gargamel, Blue Beauty and Blue White Stripes in next years garden....[/B]



(this year I'll be growing Granny Cantrell, Solar Flare, Copper River, Black Krim, Lindy's Little Krim, Snow White, Rideau Sweet Cherry, Maglia Rosa, St. Pierre, Ildi and Sungold - these are what I have seeds for from the past few years. I didn't even save seeds the last two years because that's how bad my tomatoes were!!)

Blue Beauty is excellent in my experience.

My favorite for flavor of all the anthos I have tried is Sgt Peppers, a medium-sized pink heart with antho shoulders.

I will chime in for Lucid Gem. One of my all time favorites and gosh...the colors......:)

Sgt Peppers and Dark Tiger are the only anthos that have ever gotten a repeat in my garden. And, that's about every 3rd year.

I like blueberries

Never met an antho worth growing except for an ornamental.

Dark Galaxy makes it onto my Favorites list. Very tasty and also gorgeous.

I must add that I got Indigo Blue Berries when they were first introduced a few years ago. I grew three plants. One produced yellow antho cherries, quite tasty. Two produced red antho cherries, one of which was tasty, and one was a true spitter. Obviously I did not save seed from that one. But I still every year grow both the yellow and the tasty red, which seem to be stable and reliable now, and still tasty, and very pretty in my cherry mix at market.

I'll second Lucid Gem.

Alice’s Dream is on my 2021 grow list. Hoping someone who has grown it will share a review.

Midnight Snack is quite good. This will be the 3rd consecutive year
growing here...

I had bad luck with Helsing Jun. Blue and Blue Berry last year (are Blue Berry and Indigo Blue Berry the same thing or not?). They were among the first victims of the local late blight blitzkrieg invasion. And it was as early as the end of August. I didn't even have a chance to taste them properly ripe. Unless there's an lb resistant antho variety, never more. Are there any that I don't know of?

I do NOT recommend Kaleidoscopic Jewel or Cosmic Eclipse.

I growed blue cream berry 2 years ago and it was very sweet maybe too sweet.
