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.

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.
