The round medium 110-140g yellow fruit have a distinctive sweet flavour and are less acidic than red tomatoes. Plants grow to about 60cm (2ft) and yield heavily for about a month at the beginning of summer. The best yellow tomato for cool areas, they are prolific and sweet. Start this variety in April to set out in May. Sow indoors 5-6 weeks before the last frost, lightly covering the seed. Transplant into the garden after all danger of frost. Matures in 65-70 days from transplants. I really like this early heirloom tomato:

I suppose they might be the same parentage but your seed companies give them different brand names. I have just planted a brand new supersteak tomato 'country taste' an F1 hybrid which was really expensive! I hope it was worth it, I love the slicing tomatoes in the Summer!

An another one i don't recall the name of as of right now. Unfortunately, i dont have much space for gardening. I will also try to do SQFT garden this year.but that means relocating my existing garden to a new location (My garden has a 3 year worked soil), built three 4x8 areas and buy the soil mixture to fill them up. I know i can just use the soil i have, but i want to start with a better soil mixture even if my existing soil is fine. Furthermore, my wife is giving birth to our second child on late april. So that means maybe do a SQFT garden, maybe. I really want to do it since last year i didn't plant many things due to the lack of space. I know the benefits of SQFT garden and i know i can get lots of things in there. Wish me luck! P.S. if you have any recommendation starting tomatoes from seeds (i dont have a growing light and my windows all lack of sun light) that will be great!. Also i will like to try the Cuostralee tomatoes they luck great on the picture and looks like something i will like. Good Luck this year! My carry over list for 2008 will be:

Roma VF
Beefsteak

New tomatoes for this year:

Tomato Sweet Baby Girl Hybrid (65 days)
Tomato Fourth of July Hybrid (I wanted the earliest, 45 days)
Cherokeee Purple (85 days)
