Haley's Purple Comet didn't germinate so I've replaced with De Barao Black which has germinated today.

Has anyone grown Buffalosun before? If so what was the verdict.

Just googled it. That’s a very pretty tomato. Never grown it. So I’m no help whatsoever. I’d definitely be giving it a go if it wasn’t F1.

I'm not as strict as you, I still have my F1 favourites,  they're getting fewer though.

I grew it outdoors in 2022. Decent yield, good texture, but a bit bland. To be fair, I have found most orange/yellow beefsteaks quite bland compared to other colours, so they're just not my thing.

Some of these seeds are bit old or dodgy, so it's going to be a mixture of 8 plants from whatever germinates.

Black Beauty - I don't really like anthocyanin tomatoes, but the seed was given to me by a friend so I feel obliged to grow it
Big Daddy F1 - red beefsteak
Burlesque F1 - red beefsteak
Bountiful F1 - red, ribbed beefsteak
Honeymoon F1 - pink beefsteak
Rebel Yell - red beefsteak, Stump of The World x Bear Claw
Girl Girl's Weird Thing - dark, striped beefsteak, a mutation of Green Zebra
Big Cheef - dark beefsteak, though I think this didn't grow true to type the last time I tried it, Brandywine Sudduth x unknown
Daniel Burson - dark beefsteak, Indian Stripe (a strain of Cherokee Purple) x Daniels
Rosedale - dark pink beefsteak, from a cross of Cherokee Purple x Summerpink F1
Cowboy - dark beefsteak
Unfortunately none of Honeymoon germinated, and the one Bountiful which did germinate conked out today.

My Honeymoon last year was very poor germination and non existent this year. That's the end of the packet.
