I've not tried any of his varieties so far because our growing conditions are so opposite but I just love the looks of some of those tomatoes. I've been thinking that maybe BPTD or Black and Brown Boar might be a good spring or fall tomato?

Tracydr, I'd suggest giving Black and Brown Boar a try. Your climate sounds pretty similar to mine here on the central coast, though we have not had a brutally hot summer for a couple of years. Hot days, yes, over 100, but bearable. Always cool nights, sometimes a 50 to 60 degree drop. Pink Berkeley Tie Die has also done well, would have appreciated some shade cloth more recently, though.
Raybo, what a picture, thanks for posting it! Sure are pretty.
Filmnet, I hope your tomatoes will ripen alright, the fruits look full of such potential. Has your weather been very harsh?
