I have lots of fav's. These are some of my favourite full size tomatoes that I recommend for flavour and that did well in a northern garden

Was looking for others who had comments on Bear Claw, which is new to me this year. Collected the first of two ripe fruit today. One well over a pound (18oz), the other about 10 oz. I had the smaller one for dinner tonight, together with my first ripe Taiga, Grandma Oliver's Chocolate, Purple Vernissage, and an odd little elongated pink (not green) cherry that I believe is a volunteer from last year's Lucky Tiger. All were good, but I must say Bear Claw really impressed me as in appearance it was the least "flashy" of the tomatoes and turned out to be really tasty.

Pink early det container cherry: Oksamitovy Komnatyi
Red: Minibel.
Yellow: Hahms Gelbe

Pink small det saladette: none yet
Red: Latah
Yellow: none yet.

Red large indet saladette: Kotlas
Pink: part of a breeding project using segregates out of Big Boy and Better Boy. Because I have no imagination I call it "Pink Saladette"
Yellow: no winners
Orange: no winners
Yellow Striped: a mislabelled variety from Bill Minkey that is probably Tigerella. Because I don't know, I just grow it
Green Zebra

Tired of typing on my phone, so I am gonna quit soon: favorite cherry: Sungold dehybridized.
2nd: Isis Candy
3: Brad's Atomic Grape

All time favorite red, round slicer/canner: Wisconsin 55, with Bonny Best/John Baer nipping heels.

I love Faribo Goldheart and grow it every year. Many 10-16 oz blemish-free dense orange beauties with good old-fashioned tangy tomato flavor.
