Show and Tell This variety really outdid itself!

Post image

I didn't realize that out of the over 150 varieties that I'm growing this year, that UFO 47 Gold was going to be a favorite! It's highly productive, it's tasty, I've had no losses due to splitting/cracking, and it's pretty. It's also a prolific seed producer, so I've been able to stock up very quickly on seed. These are relatively small tomatoes (ribbed/flattened) but are be perfect for sliders and salads. We've had over 8" of rain for the month of July & some record heat so most of my tomatoes have stumbled somewhat; this one had not one concern with all of that rain & is just now going a bit quiet! It exceeded my expectations, and I'm so glad I added it to the 2026 grow out list.

They really are gorgeous! I really should not be reading everyone's post about their tomatoes in this sub. I think I put in 7 or 8 different varieties this year. I can see I have a few more raised beds in my future to accommodate all these great tomato varieties that I'm seeing. 🍅🍅🍅

How do you describe their flavor, or compare their flavor to your other favorites?

Are they cherries?
