I grew this in 2018, and loved eating it. The taste isn't extremely surprising or anything, but it's a really good tomato to eat. Unfortunately, I didn't save seeds from it that year (since I was fatigued and I didn't plan to regrow it at the time, for production reasons; I'm hoping it's more prolific this year, however).

Yes, this breed is true-to-type. It's not an F1 hybrid like the Garden Leader Monster watermelon is.

Here's my plant, this year, so far. I just thinned it, today:

Here's my Eva tomato, so far, this year. If you don't know the story behind it, I recommend talking to the breeder and hearing it. I don't remember it in full, since I booted myself from Tomatoville on accident, and can't read my private messages (wherein I was told the story). This is not the same as Eva Purple Ball. I believe it's a sweet, bullet-shaped tomato, in the same class as Maglia Rosa, Wild Tiger and others. The plant is wispy, so far. I thinned it, today.

A kind woman from Kansas on Gardenweb gave me the seeds for this, a year or two ago. Here's my Esterina F1 tomato plant, this year, so far:

This tomato was growing with it's root out of the soil. It was the only one of the seeds that survived. I transplanted the root deeper in the soil. Hopefully it flourishes. This picture was taken today.

Here's my Djenna Lee's Golden Girl tomato, so far, this year. It's from seeds that were gifted to me by a Gardenweb member. I have (or at least had) seeds from Timeless-tomatoes, too (which spelled the breed name D'Jena Lees Golden Girl). I'm not sure which spelling is right (I've seen others, too). I probably would have used the other seeds, but I think I couldn't find them, and I could find these.

Here's my Cosmic Eclipse tomato, so far, this year. This is one of the main tomatoes I was hoping to grow, this year. There's anthocyanin on the foliage, although I don't see it much in the picture.

Here's my Cold Black Brandy tomato, so far, this year. It's PL, and the F4 generation. I'm not sure how stable it is, yet; it's supposed to handle cold well, I believe I heard.
