And the tomato winner is..

Purple Calabash. One of those plants that were an afterthought because the ones I thought I wanted were all gone. This was a medium sized, highly pleated/wrinkled tomato with very dark, brownish-red-purple skin. Firm flesh, few bright yellow seeds. Very intense, complex flavors. I highly recommend it if available.
These along with the yellow peach tomato, orange Sungold, red, green and purple Zebras made a treat for the eye and palate.
I have just harvested a number of Pineapple tomatoes - weighing in at 1 1/2 pounds with red striations on a yellow background they are spectacular looking and very sweet. I have enough to process into a sauce. Not sure what the resultant color will be.
Still harvesting brussles sprouts, savoy cabbage, lancinato kale and Puntarelle [chicory ]. Not a bad garden season despite getting a very late start.

I envy you those tomatoes! My green zebras were great and the ones that provide me the most joy right now, but for it's early start and persistent level of performance all summer long, I would award the Fourth of July the best tomato in my garden this year. The green zebra also produced a lot of fruit eventually, but mostly only during the last three-four weeks. For flavor alone I would crown the yellow brandywine best of my garden. It just produced very few fruit--maybe only 6--so in that sense was hard to justify planting again.

Mine are all pulled up now. The vines, every one of them, turned yellow and started shrivelling up around August 20th. I pulled them all last weekend and have planted the raised bed over to cabbages and kales.

Oh, and on another note, I don't know why anyone would remember it but last year I complained that my sage suddenly died late summer. It was a four-year plant. Well this summer I planted a new one which grew spectacularly well--then died in August. When I pulled it, it hardly took any tug at all--the roots were all miniscule small and no longer than three inches. I don't get it! I just purchased two more sage starts to plant as a fall crop--maybe they'll be able to establish a better root system at this time of year (a warm dry fall is predicted) and buck up enough to last the winter.

Try isolating soil around the roots by digging a hole and filling it with bagged potting soil/compost. Then plant the sage in that. You don't have some kind of grubs or something nibbling on the roots, do you? You can also perform a soil test to see if there's some serious nutritional or pH problem.

I have to admit it's weird because sage grows okay even here, where everything is a challenge.
