Growing this Limmony yellow tomato first time this season (2013) and so far I'm loving it. We grow almost exclusively in large containers (18-20 gal) and EarthBox (EarthTainer also). This Limmony has surprised us with plant vigor, production and taste. The plants are in 20 gallon 1/2 barrels and the vine has been so strong that we did not stake them until they were just under 5 feet tall. As the tomato count increased we did tie the plants because of the weight of the tomatoes. All of our other tomato plants require staking at 2 feet. The tomatoes do not crack -- which is great this year as it has rained almost every other day. There has been NO blossom end rot on this Limmony. The taste is nice - a bit tart but not pronounced or sour. I call it a balanced taste.

Great for salads and sandwiches as it does not weep all over the place even when ripe-ripe. I picked some completely green and put on the counter in our den -- they took about 3 weeks to turn completely yellow and not one spoiled. I will be putting some of these Limmony in paper for storage in late October.

Some of you may know that I was a huge devotee of Dr. Wyche Yellow --well-- maybe I will grow Dr. Wyche again in a few years but now my new favorite yellow is Limmony.

What I remembe rmost was that I had three plants out in the field and one of them was a mule, and never formed blossoms while the other two were productive.

I think it had a clear epidermis which means it did stay yellow, as opposed to something like Dr. Wyche which does turn gold at matruity and which I do like.

With a varity that does stay yellow at maturity Lillian's Yellow would still be my fave, and my fave one that turns golden at maturity is still Aunt Gertie's Gold. '

'So little time, so many varieties to grow and over 3K grown to date, and counting. LOL

I know I should be checking my past SSE Yearbooks if I can't remember something, they're on the floor to the left of where I sit at the computer, but the piles of them are not stable, so sometimes I just don't want to be bothered to go on a search mission.(smile)

Carolyn, who now thinks she remembers getting Limmony from Craig LeHoullier, her best tomato friend of 24 years now, who got it from David (see linki), but did grow it at the same time she was trialing the other varieties for SSE.

Ah yes, Tatiana! I read her site before ordering the seeds - that is what convinced me to try this gem. My results a bit different but then that is how tomatoes behave - IMO. My Limmony did stay yellow at maturity while my Dr. Wyche did go orange on me - just as you note.

Just took a peek at Tatiana's site for Lillian's Yellow and it looks like my type tomato -- potato leaf with solid flesh and few seeds. I now must source seeds for 2014.

Thanks for the information,
