Gary Ibsen's Gold ($4.95) 75 days.
(E)
Seeds
for this tall, leafy variety were sent to Gary in 1990 from a gardener in Boone
County, West Virginia who had been growing these for 40 years. He was given the
seeds by his uncle who had grown them in Tennessee.
Gary says, "In 2006 while eating some of this fruit just off the vine, I found myself so pleased with the flavor that I said to my wife, "Now this (slurp) is my kind of gold!"
"She suggested I call it Gary Ibsen's Gold, harvest more seeds, and share it with our friends. This big plant produces lots of very juicy, 14 oz., brilliant orange-gold globes with tropical fruit flavors with enough acid balance to guarantee a burst of tomato delight."

Golden Grape is another of the many marvelous Russian varieties--as a bonus they keep extremely well after picking, but because they are so luscious and irresistible, they won't all make it into the house. For the ones that do, they look stunning served alongside Grape Tomato, Black Cherry and Porter's Dark Cherry for a show-stopping red, pink and gold display.
Gold Medal Yellow ($4.95) Look at this
tomato! As delicious as it is beautiful, Gold Medal Yellow is sunshine yellow with a delicate orange glimmer
here and there, brimming with juicy, sweet, refreshing flavors. Delicious,
slightly fluted, and reaching 8 to 10 ounces, about 3" wide, it is a fantastic
fruit. Marvelous!

Hawaiian
Pineapple
($4.95)
(B) 90 days.
A huge, breathtaking and much sought after
golden-orange beefsteak with fruit that grows up to 1-1/2 lbs. When fruit is
ripe it has a luscious, very rich, sweet pineapple-melon like flavor and heady
tropical fragrance. Add the unusually high production of this plant, and it
makes my top 10 list. A real knock-out and a top-seller.

popped a few into my mouth at TomatoFest. Wow. Ambrosial, just sublime. My notes
on this variety are a series of 9 exclamation points. The tiny
golden-yellow 3/8" fruits grow in bountiful clusters of 8 on a big rangy plant.
Along with Camp Joy, Mirabell is my new favorite cherry tomato. Just as I did
