I'll bring this back to the top, Jared. Not because I've had any real experience with them but I've read favorable things about the outfit for several years.
The Berkeley Tie-Dyed seems to be one of their varieties. It is around in some of the mainstream seed catalogs now.
Yeah, they really seem to emphasize the different! I was just saying something about "variety is the spice of life" and realizing that I can do that only with certain crops. Luckily, I have lots of space and can try 1 or 2 new things for most crops, each year. I am highly risk-averse, however. Also, I love my tried-&-trues -- they are like old friends! I often try to reason out my own environmental conditions and then choose something that, kind of, address those. Example, I know that broccoli will just go to heck about 6 weeks after the last frost because of hot, dry weather! Even an early variety like Premium Crop is risky. I need something of a dwarf that will mature nice heads before that summer blast takes them out!
Tomatoes? Splitting. Besides a fairly early days-to-maturity, I use overhead sprinklers on quickly draining soil with nary a good rain thru the summer months. Splitting. Some varieties are excellent! Some, are terrible . . .

Bay keep us posted please! I saw the Pink Berkeley Tie Dye with Baker Creek and thought that would be fun to grow. That and the solar flare if its not a 90 day or more tomato.
