| The only ones on your list I tried were KBX and Kellogg's Breakfast. Even though some claim KBX is supposed to be the better of the two, in my garden plain old Kellogg's Breakfast was better, in fact it is one of my favorite tomatoes and one I plan to plant every year. I like them because they are so meaty and the flesh is such a beautiful yellow orange color. I just picked a monster. However they are subject to sun scald, I cover up ones sprawling on the ground with garbage can lids to prevent that. |

| Kellogg's Breakfast is the only one on your list I would consider planting again. Dave |

| A third endorsement of Kellogg's B. We're in central VA and have had good luck producing very large and delicious fruits of this variety over a number of growing seasons. |

| I've grown Persimmon up here on Long Island and it thrived, very tasty tomato too. |

| Big Rainbow Pine Apple Persimmon Kellogs Breakfast KBX ***** I've grown all of them and where I live anbd garden if it had to be two I'd grow KBX and probably Big Rainbow since it's one of the better gold/red bicolors but I'm not a big fan of the general group, at least of the ones I've grown. You say you've been searching on the net for info about them and I know the link To Tania's Tomato data base has been given many times here at GW but if you don't have it I'll link to it again. I use the alphabetical way of going to the page for a given variety but you'll see from the home page that there's many ways to searchg for varieties. Carolyn |

| I would [lant All of them and more |
|
| The only one I'd grow is KBX. If I didn't have KBX seed I'd grow KB and take my chance against CRUD.... |
|
| IMO KBX is only one worth growing. add Spudakee and Cowlicks. these 3 will give you all the variety you need. all are propductive and healthy. If you need seed PM me. good luck Bill |

If you need seed PM me. good luck Bill ***** Bill I'm sure we could all add other varieties we'd prefer to sow seeds for, I know I would, ahem, but the poster asked just about the ones that were listed above. ( smile) Carolyn, who would have a looongg alternative list indeed as I'm sure others might have as well. At least the poster is asking about varieties first before making some decisions and I much prefer to see that then the persons who ask about varieties where the seeds have already been sown or the plants already planted. And then whoa, it's much more difficult to critique a list knowing that seedlings are up, etc. ( smile) |
