Re: Tomatoes
This year, due to space limitations, I'm only growing two varieties, both new to me. The first is Indigo Rose, a dark purple skin tomato that's high in antioxidants. Taste has been reported as very good to bleh. The second is Cherry Blend, a mixture of different cherries. We'll see. Taste should be good, and both should look great on the vine. I have fruits starting on both; I'll take pics when a bit larger. I also am growing Sweet Cayenne peppers, so both Mom and I can eat them..

Re: Tomatoes
I think you'll enjoy Indigo Rose because their color is just so bizarre. The flavor was pretty good to me when I grew the last year, definitely on the sweet side. Not awesome, but enjoyable. Good luck.

Re: Tomatoes
Indigo Rose is high in anthocyanins and the skin color is an eye-popper. The taste though is rather ordinary compared to say, Cherokee Purple. If you're looking to increase anthocyanins in your diet, then simply eat more bilberries (or evergreen huckleberries if you are in the western U.S.).

Re: Tomatoes
I'm trying those this year for the first time. It'll be a while before I know what they taste like -- the plant is just starting to set fruit. And who knows, maybe there will be a giant tomato disease meltdown in my yard. Seems to be a normal thing for me. Been spraying Daconil this year. So for, no horrible fungal disease outbreaks. Also no eating tomatoes without washing the fungicide off first!
