I shared my last post on here with the 7 new varieties I have bought seeds of. I'm extremely keen to start growing some more tomatoes, I'd like to know what everyone's favourites are to grow and why? what should I add to my list, currently I have, purple Cherokees, Barry's crazy cherry's, tamarillos, costoluto fiorentinos, ice tomatoes, reisetomates and pineapple tomato's.

I’m a big fan of stupice, early girls, black krim, cherokee purple (which you already have).
So many to recommend, so I’ll narrow it down to this: go green. Aunt Ruby’s German Green is one of my favourites. Green Giant is great. If you’ve got Cherokee Purple, try Cherokee Green. Captain Lucky, a bi-coloured green, is an amazing, must-grow variety.
Persimmon. It’s an orange beefsteak tomato that’s deliciously sweet. One of my favorites on a BLT.
Sungold for life.
Tasmanian Chocolate, Orange Strawberry, Ochre Heart (or Uluru Ochre, which is the original beefsteak version) and Indigo Pear Drops.
Sorry, not quite what you’re after but the supports you’ve made, have you used them before? My first time growing anything other than bush varieties and lots of people are recommending cages. I saw this and thought it looked fab but wanted to check its success before I buy 100s of bamboo canes ha.
Grandma Mary’s Paste is my favourite as I love to freeze or make pasta sauce out of them to enjoy all winter, Aunt ruby’s yellow cherry is the sweetest cherry I’ve ever tasted (even more than gardeners delight which claims to be the sweetest), and my neighbours big beef plus showed me it is the best way to get a wicked yield
Black Beauty – unique flavors and bears until first frost.
Rapunzel (Cherry) Рtaste and even yield that I like to mix with Yellow Pear (Cherry) and a Jalape̱o for a nice snack.
Lemon Boy! Very sweet and not too acidic, perfect for slicing. Then Sweet Million Cherries. They are like little sugar bombs and have large fruit clusters!
Kellogg’s Breakfast – meaty, sweet and huge, often weighing at least a pound
Pantano Romanesco – gorgeous Italian variety, rich tomatoey flavor
Carbon – tastiest black variety I’ve ever grown (which is saying something because black tomatoes are my fav) and fairly productive
Sungold – wonderfully sweet, early to ripen and the last to perish
