This is one of the best-tasting tomatoes I've ever had, and probably the most complex in flavor. It's amazing, but not sweet. It's a small tomato, or a large cherry. It's ruffled like a stuffing tomato, but my fruits weren't hollow (although I understand the variety is known to be kind of hollow at least sometimes).

I grew this in 2016, in a container.

I'm growing two plants, this year. One, from seeds I saved in 2016, and another from the original packet. Here they are! These pictures were taken on 27 May 2020.

If you are a serious gardener who knows onions, you might contact Paquebot of TomatoJunction about Amish Yellow Bottle onions, and help prevent them from becoming extinct. (Edit: You might wait until Paquebot gets more seeds. They're all spoken for as of 31 May 2020.)

It said to be an excellent cooking-type onion.

Alexandria is a pretty cool alpine strawberry. It's the easiest one to grow from seed that I've tried, and germinates abindantly. The flavor is good. Critters probably eat it more than Yellow Wonder.

I have several Alexandria strawberry plants in the garden—some out the front by the flowers, and some at the east side of the house.

On Wednesday, I believe it was, I harvested a Reine des Vallees alpine strawberry, and ate it. It was very good and had a lot of flavor; it wasn't as bitter as Yellow Wonder was the day before or so. The strawberry was decently wide for an alpine strawberry.

This is supposed to be one of the best varieties of alpine strawberry.

I plan to split up my plant into individual plants this fall, and to grow new plants from seeds from one or more fruits.

Here's my Old Brooks tomato, so far, this year. I thinned the extra plants out, today.

I'm growing a plant from a fruit with a very large blossom scar, from the near-multi-flora Brandy Boy cross F2 plant. So, it's F3, this year. Here's a picture I took earlier today:



The plant last year was quite desirable, and pretty much like the Brandy Boy F1 tomato that I grew the same year.

Here is my Nineveh tomato plant, so far, this year. I also grew it in 2016, but I overwatered and overcrowded it; I didn't get any fruit. The seeds came from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.

Here's my Moonglow tomato, so far, this year. I hear the fruits are particularly high in a certain nutrient found in tangerine tomatoes.
