With only 23 years of records keeping (the previous 26 years don't count since they were boys, girls, betters and bests), each year's favorites did change. These are the three that stand out over those years. Looking at the lists so far, mine will look a little old school with one being a fairly new one :
Cherokee Purple Kellogg's Breakfast Canadian Heart

From another continent:
Start F1 Tomato Berry F1 Mountain Magic F1 That is if late blight doesn't appear. I've had very few of the first two varieties in the last two years. And as a rookie I've only grown about 50 cultivars altogether. Milan HP |

I go for balanced flavor.
Crnkovic Yugoslavian - pink KBX - tangerine Box Car Willie - Red While you only want 3, I have to toss in a plug for Goose Creek that is tart flavored. I wish more breeding work had been done with tart/sweet combinations. |
