Wettest year ever. Without raised beds I would have given up. (not really)
In order:
Purple Haze - clear #1, even good after splitting from the rain
KBX - excellent taste, low production
Bear Creek
Big Beef
Indian Stripe - not very productive this year
Stump of the World
Bear Claw - fairly early & productive
Purple Dog Creek- started getting some disease & every tomato ripened at once
Red Brandywine - still hanging in there but taste has gotten too strong
Amazon Chocolate - instead of the large slicer advertised, a cherry with so so taste
Grape - no flavor this year, but just touch a ripe one and it will fall into your hand

I did not include Sungold because Sungold is, well, Sungold. It did appear to start splitting when the rain was about a mile away.
