What tomato are you impatient to have ripen?

There is ONE TOMATO that I want to ripen SO bad. It's just been hanging there growing and growing for what seems like forever now. Every day I walk my garden and give it a little encouragement, and every day it just teases me.
What tomato are you anxious to see ripen?
Here's mine, Taiga:

2 actually (besides my EML's.) I planted a Big Rainbow and a Big Zebra and now I can't remember which is which. They both have Greenies about the same size so they should ripen at around the same time.

This one and dont even know what variety it is though have a good idea , Name Tag went adrift somewhere or other or is buried beside the plant.
If it comes up Trumps i will suss its name and keep seed otherwise wont worry about it.
Good sized fruit mind you with about five fruit set on the plant..

Hope the hurricane doesn't harvest before I do.

That is a gorgeous tomato! I generally dislike growing things I don't know the variety for, but I'd make an exception for this one. Would you mind saving some seed and sending some to me, happy to send a SASE or trade for anything you might be interested in that I am growing or that I have in my stash.

[mention]Growing Coastal[/mention] those Atomic Fusions are crazy-looking! It could be a trick of the light, but they look almost black in that one shot. Wow. What a showstopper.

That's how they look on that arm of that plant. Very black and a nice contrast to the orange Esterina next to it.

Well, my Karma Purple finally started blushing today, and it and the Taiga fruit set on the same day. So I'm hoping it'll be soon....

Rosella Purple and Tasmanian Chocolate. Tried growing them both outdoors last year but the wind broke off the heavy trusses and I didn't get a single ripe one. They're both in the greenhouse this year and settings loads of fruit.

Rose de Berne, first time I will grow it this year.
Jaune flamme as it is a good and very productive variety

Picked there this morning. I couldn't wait any longer and was afraid the animals would get them (they've been bad this year).
The Antonucci Slicer is my Grandfather's variety he's grown the last several decades. He can't anymore, so I've taken the torch.

Tundra and Nizami.
Both clearing 7 ft tall now and loading up with palm sized hearts. Cannot wait to try them!

I can't wait for the next Captain Lucky to ripen! I tried the first one (maybe a little too early), so the next one should be great!
Karma Apricot is another that I'm anxious to try. Hubby keeps nabbing them before I can even get a look in - and I don't even think they are quite ripe yet!
