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.

Here's my Japanese Black Trifele tomato, so far, this year. I think it bloomed, today (and was among the first to do so). It's adapting with vigor, so far.

Here's my Isis Candy tomato, so far, this year. It was my most vigorous tomato in the greenhouse for a while. It's doing well after the transplant, too. I thinned it, today.
