There is already a tomato thread going but it's broadly focused. On this
thread I'm asking what's your single favorite tomato variety. My candidate
is the Sun Gold Cherry, incredibly sweet and a terrific producer.

I'm partial to it's sibling, SunSugar. Same orange color, very similar
in taste, and a bit less likely to split while on the vine.

I thought I hated cherry tomatoes until these showed up.

Favorite ox-heart (very meaty type of tomato): Kosovo

Favorite yellow: Aunt Gertie's Gold, with Persimmon a close second

Lovely to look at (and still good to eat): Royesta. Has been very
reliable for me. You want to give someone a beautiful tomato, this
one is it.

I've tried a lot of tomato varieties, and will keep trying others, but
these are real keepers. There are others I've liked a lot that were
less reliable or had some major flaws. (Green zebra and blossom
end rot, I'm looking at you!)

As for paste tomatoes, one I used grow regularly doesn't appear to
be in any of my preferred catalogs anymore (LaRossa). I prefer
determinates, for the concentrated harvest.
