I'm trying Mountain Princess this year in my high tunnel as an early tomato:

I'm also trying Ballada:

Both of them are short-season determinate reds, similar to Applause |
I tried Mountain Princess for two years and it just did not thrive. I will look at Ballada. I was also wondering about Polbig. I never thought about trying to save seed.
