Here's what I got growing in my small garden (in addition to five pepper plants):

Black Cherry
Brandywine Pink
Cherokee Purple
Cow's Tit
Roma
San Marzano
Vinson Watts

The only one I've grown before was Roma, although I did have a standard Brandywine last year. I want this to be the last year I do Roma, depending on if my other paste tomatoes do well. Last year's Romas were susceptible to blossom end rot, which was partially kept at bay using a b-e-r spray. I also would like to get away from determinates and hybrids for pastes. And the flavor of Romas are just OK to me; but they're a good backup in case the others don't do well.

The Cow's Tit is a funny plant. The leaves are fluffy and the stems are growing in all sorts of wild directions. Is this normal for this plant?
