Here's my Moneymaker tomato, so far, this year. I had hoped to grow the Sweet 'N' Bright tomato, too, but it didn't sprout.

I grew this in 2016, overwatered, and it was one of the most acidic of a very non-acidic batch of tomatoes. It tasted good, and the fruits reliably each had the same a peculiar shape. I suspected it might not be true-to-type (although I'm not sure). So, I'm trying it again from TomatoFest seeds to compare, this year.

I grew the F1 in 2017 (that F1 plant is known as MKX_A), in a shady location by a current bush. It had red, plum-shaped fruit, thicker in the middle than the two ends. They were very sweet, just like Medovaya Kaplya, but perhaps slightly more complex. The F1 was regular leaf.

I'm growing the F2, this year. I selected for a potato leaf plant, today, when I cut off the extra plants with scissors. The PL one wasn't the largest, though, but it looks like it could do well.

Here's my plant, so far, this year:

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.
