I'm a market vendor, so yes, I do. But my experimenting with new varieties every year inevitably costs me money, as many of them will be a waste of space. I'm finally getting to the point of having heirloom varieties that produce well enough to plant for market. I'd make the most money if I quit trying new tomatoes and just grow the few kinds that do the best. But I will still end up planting 100+ new varieties every spring, just so I can see what they do. Knowing exactly what will happen is boring to me. I want a tomato adventure.
