Pink.
A deep, dark, flawlessly smooth, satiny, pearlish, glowing pink, where such a color cannot be replicated outside of nature, and such color is only for but a brief moment in time, giving it's all at it's peak, screaming out its perfect hue & tint that's it is now, yes now, time to be eaten.

Pinks, though it looks like I will have very little this year.

I LOVE Sungolds but haven't found another orange keeper. My other favorites for taste each year since I joined here and went tomato-crazy have been pinks. My favorites for looks, sliced, are the purple darks and the tri-colors.

I'm a GWR fan...and I have been since my first taste of one. And I must admit that the thought of a GWR Heart might just keep me up at night! :-o

Pink, and I'm perfectly secure with saying that.
Second are the greens. |

Orange, KBX and Orange Minsk at the top of the list. I've been finding some great tasting reds and pinks this year. My favorite may change by the end of this season.

Blacks and GWRs. I'm awfully fond of Black from Tula and Paul Robeson, and I absolutely love Malakhitovaya shkatulka (Malachite Box) and Lime Green Salad is on my list every year. I've got a giant Malachite box fruit out there from a mega bloom that's at least 4" across. Can't wait to taste it again!

Whichever one is ripe, ready and on my plate!
That said, my sole KBX was the best tasting one I grew last year. So far this year it's a tie between Tasmanian Pink (experimental dwarf) and Green Zebra, which is surprising to me, as I didn't find the Green Zebras to be that great last year. There has been too much rain, though, so hopefully the flavors will get better as the season progresses. No telling which one will end up on top! (I'm talking about the larger tomatoes, here. The White Rabbit cherry and Black Cherry still are some of my very favorites, but in a different way.) |
