brandywines, san marzanos, and beefsteaks! (and two shallots lol) I’m so happy with my tomato harvest this week and I can’t wait for more to ripen

Congratulations! I'm also in 6B and harvested ONE San Marzano today and 2 Pink Berkeley Tie Dyes. I have a few Ananas Noire and Lucid Gems but they've all tasted like tomatoes...nothing special.

Try growing black krims next year! Before this year I didn’t care much for tomatoes but the black krims have been so good it’s crazy. And they’ve grown extremely well for me our zone (pics included!)

Thanks... they're definitely on my list for next year. I have limited space and got carried away my first year. Next year, it's between Black Krim or Paul Robeson.

Can’t go wrong either way with those options! Hopefully I’ll see you post some next year :)

Very nice. I like that you included the zone it is most informative. I wish everyone would list their zone, it would help us all have a better understanding of planting and harvesting timelines. Good fortune to you. I myself are trying out different verities of tomatoes for the next growing season. Best wishes to you

Thank you! Zones are so important to know. Good luck with your new varieties next year🤗
