Here's my Malakhitovaya Shkatulka tomato (tr. Malachite Box), so far, this year. I'm really glad about this one. I believe I ran out of seeds. You can see how small it is. A friend of mine really likes this variety. My seeds came from my friend, who got her original seed from me; I got those from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.

Here's my Kellogg's Beefsteak tomato, so far, this year. This is from seeds I saved from tasty fruit in 2015. I grew it in 2015, in tough soil, and it didn't prosper, but it did produce a few undersized very tasty fruits. I attribute the lack of vigor and the undersized fruit to the soil, since other tomatoes struggled in it, too. The only ones to do decently in that soil were Galapagos Island (and their fruits were somewhat undersized and extra dark / concentrated-looking). Note that I grew Galapagos Island elsewhere that same year (and the fruits were larger and lighter in color).

Note that I'm growing KBX and Kellogg's Breakfast, this year, too.

Here's my Jim Dandy offtype, or Butterscotch Bush tomato, so far, this year. I grew it in 2016, and at the time it basically a multiflora yellow nippled cherry the shape of a giant tumbleweed. The fruits looked the same as those of Yellow Riesentraube, but they tasted sweeter and more like butterscotch. It grew very vigorously in compact soil. I thinned the extra plants out, today (there were more to thin out than any other tomato, this year). The foliage is a lighter green, so far.
