I've used Carolyn's book as my #1 tomato reference since buying it years ago, and of the many important things learned from it is that potato leaf and rugose-leaf varieties have had the least problems and best production in my particular garden, so my selection now is almost entirely of those types.
Olena Ukrainian and Brandywine OTV are two that I've grown & are favorites that I learned of from this book, both will be grown this year, of course.
Brandywine, Yellow (Platfoot Strain), Martino's Roma, and Gogosha are varieties I also learned of from the book that I will be trying this year that are in the PL & rugose-leaf categories.
Carolyn has also personally recommended to me other PL varieties in the past that she likes (KBX, Lithuanian, & Moravsky Div), that will also be planted this year, and consider it fortunate that she has shared her experience and wealth of information here and elsewhere with all of us tomato enthusiasts.
