I had "help" picking out the tomatoes to grow this year and I have to admit if they all produce well it will be very interesting to see the varied shapes, color, etc. For growing outside and at other folks houses we ended up with:
7 semi normal tomatoes
- Alaskan Fancy - from the MMMM swap red tomato good for fresh eating or sauce
Dwarf Mandurang Moon - a white potato leaf
Extreme Bush - from Baker Creek "The plants grow twelve to twenty eight inches tall" round red tomatoes
Petite Peach - an indet gold cherry brushed with bronze on the shoulders and with hints of peach in the flavor
Rebel Starfighter: Kayleigh Anne - a white with antho
Cosmic Cream Centriflor - a centriflor white grape with antho
Potato Leaf Pink Berkeley Tie Dye - an indet potato leaf that is adapted to our area and is similar to Pink Berkeley Tie Die
2 Fancy foliage varieties
- Charlene - pink with gold stripes with chartreuse foliage
Dean's Brad Gates - an early/mid bicolor with variegated foliage)
2 fuzzy tomatoes -
- Extravagante Rouffiange Tomato
Velvet Red - indet cherry
2 Fluted/ruffled tomatoes -
- Rossa Sicilian
Accordion Cherry indet cherry
2 of the Exserted tomatoes
- Exserted Orange - orange or bi color that could be either indet or det...
Exserted Tiger indet grape with stripes and antho

I had to snag it when I saw the information on it. Plus of course I have other micro dwarfs that I will start as soon as I get my big tomatoes outside.
I have two versions of Puck here. The one from Baker Creek and the one from Miss Penn's Mountain Seeds which produces a small dwarf plant with dark tomatoes. I had seed for it in the swap package that vanished... Apparently the seller was sent seeds for the plant under the name Puck but ... Clement (the toddler) will also get groovy tunes and bunny hop in his little garden plus some marigolds.

Because I don't have it?

I heard T4 had a unique waxy like skin so I was rather curious to try it.

I'm doing Rebel Starfighter Kayleigh Anne and Charlene this year as well. I must say, Charlene is a beautiful plant.

No problem I was sort of hoping others with "not normal" tomatoes would chime in.
All my plants are still seedlings but we are starting to harden them off as we will plant the 1st of June. What is interesting is how furry Extravagante Rouffiange is. There is no doubt that this is a furry tomato plant. Velvet Red on the other hand is not as furry. Charlene is striking at this moment with dark veins in her bright chartreuse leaves but she only has two sets of leaves. Dean's Brad Gates is not showing any variegation yet unlike Gandalf that had variegated leaves almost as soon as it had leaves.

LOVED the little heart shaped tomatoes on our Gandalf but it is a late tomato for me... most of my green tomato salsa came from the 4 Gandalf plants...

Are your Extreme Bush old enough for the leaves to curl? The new leaves on my little plants are starting to curl upward just like the description and the photo at Victory Seeds. Very different
