Yah, sure. I don't like too sharp flavour.
Some are from Tatiana's Tomatobase or Sample Seeds, which aren't selling now. PM me for any seeds you want to try.

Large Reds/Pinks - Sahharnyi Pudovichok, Bichiy Lob, Cosmonaut Volkov, Purple Potato Top, Krasnyi Krupnyi, Big Beef, Marglobe, Biyskaya Roza, Rose

Yellow - Azoychka, Golden King of Siberia

Orange - Orange Minsk, Orange Altai, Sakharnyi Zhletnyi, Jim Dandy, Dina

Blacks - Black Giant, Clear Lake, Margaret's Mystery Black. honourable mention: Black Early, Black Aisberg, Black Plum, Black Pear

Paste - Maria's Hungarian, Orange Roma, Grushevij

Determinates - 0-33, Sasha's Altai, Ranniy Flazhok, Forme de Cour, Maglia Roza (Mixed results with the Dwarf Project, were loath to set fruit generally)

Cherries and salad - (most any will grow pretty well) Black Cherry, Kiss the Sky, Mini Orange, Iva's Red Berry, Sebastopol

I have so many new ones I haven't tried too, but usually only one in five or 10 can make the cut.

I like Black Giant, too. I don't see that one mentioned a lot, except at seed stores. I think it might even be parthenocarpic, since I've gotten seedless fruit from it.

If you like Black Giant, you may like Mexican Yellow, too. It has similar productivity, maturity, fruit size, and such. The flavor's different, of course.

Welcome!
