Pink Bumble Bee beats out Sunrise Bumble Bee and others in Australia.

Nice, I'm growing all of the top 5 minus green zebra which is a magnet for disease here. First time for all of them too!

That's interesting. I have grown green zebra almost every year, for the challenge, and I'm not THAT crazy over it. Like BigVanVader it seems to always get diseased. Same with Wapsipinicon Peach?! Not sure what the "red and black tomatoes" are?? Lol- Or is that their name? Still need to try your artisan varieties....

Here is your red and black tomato

I had a Green Zebra growing in the same bed as its grandchild, Abracazebra. The green zebra succumbed to disease quickly but Abracazebra is enormous, vigorous and still pumping out nice tomatoes. It has made it as a “grow every year” at my place

We are having a plant sale at our farm tomorrow.

We have some extra Artisan Cherry tomato plants (plugs for $1 each).

We also have larger tomatoes (our pre-released varieties) and hard-to-find peppers in 3" pots

Proceeds help feed our children, dogs and chickens.

I ordered Artisan tomato seeds this year and I'm growing out Lucky Tiger, Green Tiger, Purple Bumble Bee, Sunrise Bumble Bee, and they are all doing really well. For myself, Green Zebra has always been a frustrating experience, lots of BER, and disease and short shelf life. I gave up the ghost a few years ago. So happy gardening to all!
