I grew Bronze Torch this year too and thought it was great. Try Captain Lucky--it's stunning and great tasting.

For cherry tomatoes, I'm partial to the Tokita Brand: Sun Series - very sweet, prolific, disease resistant. Particularly: Sun Orange (an improved SunGold that doesn't split), SunChocola, SunGarnet. You might want to consider SunGreen which is super high brix - Johnny's and Parkseed have the newest release 4029. I grew the prior release last season and although excellent, there was a learning curve when to pick. I've started the 4029 now and it is supposed to be less DTM and slightly smaller and easier to know when to pick. Tomatoes with a lot of Antho just don't taste that good when I've grown them so I stopped. You might want to consider growing Lucid Gem from Wild Boar. Quote:
ETA - If you want something new, check out KarenO's varieties. She has a thread on this site. Last edited by Barb_FL; September 7, 2020 at 12:15 PM. |

Happy Labor Day to All,
Barb...I was wondering what is sungarnet like? It is similar to the "garnet" cherry? I grow garnet cherry every season and wondered if the sungarnet is any different? Also I grew SunChocola last season and got great results. I saved seeds without thinking that it is a hybrid. Have you grown saved seeds from the Tokita variety tomatoes and still got a similar plant as the parent? Just wonder what your thoughts may be. Where can I purchase Sungarnet cherry seeds? Thanks as always for your knowledge and help. ![]() |

http://tomatoville.com/showthread.ph...616#post759616 I never grew Garnet; but grew Rosella (Garnet's sister). I also never grew out F2 seeds from any Tokita brand tomato. |

If your question was to me, my original Captain Lucky seeds were from Steve at Heritage Tomato Seed (https://heritageseedmarket.com/index...e-tomato-seed/), but he doesn't appear to be offering it at the moment.
Fred at Artisan Seeds, who posts here regularly and has developed some great varieties, offers it: https://store.growartisan.com/product/captain-lucky. I think some other vendors offer it also, but my experience with the two mentioned have always been great.
