In what order are your tomato varieties ripening?
Mine were sown and planted in two main batches, so these are from the older batch...
1 Whippersnapper
2 Peacevine
3 Black Krim
4 Sweetie
5 Black Cherry
(all above except Black Krim are cherry types)
It looks like Nyagous will be the next large-fruited type to ripen.

Joya de Oaxaca (Jewel of Oaxaca) is a tri-color (my term for a bicolor with green shoulders lol) beefsteak. I picked one 18 ounces a couple days ago, and one 20 ounces just this morning. I'm nuts over bicolors to start with, but I can see why the Mexicans call this one a jewel. Its green-yellow-red color scheme is stunning.
Muchamiel (Lots of Honey) and Tres Cantos (Three Songs) are partially ripe, and it looks like a race between these two and Reisetomate (Voyage) for the next fully ripe. These first two came from Spain, and the third from Bulgaria, although I'm not sure those are the countries of origin... Rio Grande is starting to show a little color.
So, Joya de Oaxaca is #8.

Almost forgot - Cow's Tit (a long, pointed paste tomato) is almost ripe, too...
Got a busy weekend coming up with the 20 year reunion, but I'll try to get some pics posted...
