| Moskvich tomato is the current winner in my garden, where it is hard to grow tasty large tomatoes. But look at the babies I got in mid July! Huge and just as good as the best tomato I've tasted! | Ratings| overall | n/a | | how easy | 5 | | flower | n/a | | foliage | 10 | | propagate | 10 | | fragrance | n/a |

| oldbiddy - z8 TX |  Silvery Fir Tree Tomato | I like this tomato because it does well in temperature extremes here in TX plus it is tastey and has pretty foliage. Would look good in a container. Comes from Earl on the tomato forum I believe. | Ratings| overall | 9 | | how easy | 8 | | flower | 8 | | foliage | 9 | | propagate | 8 | | fragrance | n/a |

| Nora_in_Vancouver - 8b Wet Coast |  June 5, 2004 (Vancouver BC) | This is an unusual double bloom, most of the other blooms on this plant were singles. This was a 'Cherokee Purple'. | |
| LMBHouston - 9a TX GulfCoast |  Young Beefsteak Tomato | This year I decided to try growing tomatoes for the very first time. I wasn't prepared for success, I suppose, much less that I would end up with a plant who had the capacity to grow as tall as 10'! Already the teeny seedlings I bought have outgrown the pots I thought were absolutely huge when I planted them. I'm still happy just to have any tomatoes at all. | Ratings| overall | 9 | | how easy | 8 | | flower | 8 | | foliage | 8 | | propagate | n/a | | fragrance | 5 |

| Thuja - USDA z4 WI, US |  Lycopersicum esculentum fruit | One thing that makes tomatoes so wonderful is their scent. Here's a picture that I think shows the oil on the surface of a very young tomato fruit. | Ratings| overall | 9 | | how easy | 10 | | flower | 10 | | foliage | 5 | | propagate | 10 | | fragrance | 9 |

| garden_witch - z5 MI |  green romas | I grow tomatoes every year, and romas are one of the best. They always produce the most fruit, I always have more than I need! They seem to stand up to drought better than any other tomato I have grown, and they taste great! | Ratings| overall | 9 | | how easy | 8 | | flower | 6 | | foliage | 8 | | propagate | 10 | | fragrance | 8 |

| ddbled - | I live in Arizona. All the good vegatable are shipped out, so we are stuck with tastelees fruits and vegatable. I am orginally from Tennesee where my father grew tomatoes every year. I yearn for those wonderful tomatoes. Therefore I have two tomato plants on my patio. Not quite as good as Ripley tomatoes (if you are familier you know what I am talking about) but ... | Ratings| overall | 8 | | how easy | 3 | | flower | 6 | | foliage | 6 | | propagate | n/a | | fragrance | n/a |
