@Ken Adams if you have Heirloom tomatoes other than the varieties featured so far, please post pics of whole and sliced tomatoes, along with your review!

I likely do. I tend to search out rare varieties for my garden. But being in northern indiana it will be a bit yet before I have any to post :(

@seedcorn .......... :plbb

These are Yellow Pear tomatoes. They were the first tomatoes to ripen and every 2-3 days, I pick a double handful off 4 plants. The other ones are Chocolate Cherry tomatoes, they are a rosy-brownish color with streaks of green. They have a good tomato taste and I like the color. I got the seed from @PhilaGardener .

Yellow pears look fine. You can have those green/black ones. If they aren't good to eat fresh, they aren't good enough to cook with.

Hello @BeanieMan,

One of the Gardener's Delight tomato plants is about ready to give me it's first ripe fruit. They look like what we call cherry tomatoes. Very, Very small fruits. Is that what they are? They have grown the most beautiful plants and are very tall. Are any of the other varieties you sent to me seed of cherry sized tomatoes?
