This will be the first year for us. I was really tempted by the review that said it was the ugliest and most delicious tomato someone had ever grown.
Plus, they are supposed to have a smoky flavor. That seems to be a common description of some of the black varieties. There are even black cherry tomatoes, now.
We went a little bit overboard this year with tomatoes (not possible, I say). Right now we have green zebra, cherokee, cherry, rainbow cherry, stupice, beefsteak, willamette, and some yellow pear.
54 tomato plants total - Brandywine (Sudduth's strain), Jersey Devil, Kellogg's Breakfast (my personal favorite), Goose Creek, Amish Paste, Green Zebra, Aunt Ruby's German Giant, Martino's Roma, Missouri Pink Love Apple, Pineapple, Ananas Noire, 1884, Giant Belgium, and Rose
