I just harvested a Dipper's Delight yesterday and will send seeds into the MMMM so you can get them there for next year. Or PM if you can't get them there. It's an attractive dwarf tomato with pretty good flavor. I will probably grow again. Here's what it looks like:

I also have Kayleigh Anne seeds. Kayleigh is very vigorous and is a beast in my greenhouse; pretty sure it's my longest vine this year and it's producing loads of tasty tennis ball sized fruit. This tomato has a nice "fruity" flavor that hits on the mid bite and after bite. Great salad tomato or just eat it plain. I'm definitely growing this one again. Here are photo's of Kayleigh Anne:

Tried to grow RSF Prime and VT16 but both were wispy, struggled with disease my other 50 plants didn't get and neither made it to the garden. I will try again next year.

These were listed:
Rebel Starfighter: Penny Lane (Dwarf)
Rebel Starfighter: Kayleigh Anne
Rebel Starfighter: Blane's Moonlight
Rebel Starfighter: Prime
Rebel Starfighter: Dipper's Delight (Dwarf)
Rebel Starfighter: VT16
Anyone know where his etsy site is? I am trying to locate Kayleigh Anne seeds.
It hasn't been active for a while. I believe he was going to re-open it this year, but have not heard anything recently.

Woodland Creationz on Etsy also sells them. From my understanding Russ Crowe hasn't got his Etsy back up but possibly soon.

@Pomidor Here it is, in the corner of my hoop house. It's in a seven gallon grow bag and doing great. It wasn't meant to be in a 7 gallon grow bag, that was just meant to be temporary, but the timeline got away from me this year in some areas. The grow bag is nine inches tall and the plant is another 4 foot tall. It's got two fruit breaking color. That's a Thai Basil next to it, I put a Thai Basil in each corner of my hoop house to draw pollinators inside. I imagine this could be a bigger plant if it had more soil to work with.

As much as I would love to try these varieties I don’t dare because of where I live are they any good

Russ Crowe had his Etsy shop 'Artisan of Tomatoes' open a short time last winter and was selling his newest varieties Rebel Starfighter Bravado and Rebel Starfighter Grandpa's Heart (in addition to his others). I was lucky enough to get some before he sold out and have one plant each of Bravado and Grandpa's Heart started. If my knees don't give out or hail storms don't wipe me out, or other issues come up... I hope to have seeds to send in for MMMM swap. Gardening is a gamble.
