Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - It's seed starting time! What are you growing for 2018?

fordido · March 1, 2018

Now that's a tiller.. wow! I'm planning to start seeds over St. Patty's Day weekend & plant out on Mother's Day weekend. This will be my second time starting seeds.. went great the first year and I'm *really* hoping it wasn't just beginner's luck! I only have space for about 10-11 plants total. Here's what I'm currently thinking:

SunGold
SuperSweet 100
Cherokee Purple
Kellogg's Breakfast or KBX
Pink Berkeley Tie Dye
Brandy Boy
Rosella Purple (Dwarf)
Emerald Giant (Dwarf)
Little Lucky
Rebel Yell
Wes

As a novice gardener, I'd love to hear any feedback or other suggestions you might have. I'm hoping for a mix of colors and tastes, mostly to give away to family & friends, although I'm planning to try canning for the first time as well! Would these varieties be suitable for canning diced tomatoes (as opposed to sauce) or should I swap in a paste or roma?

I'm excited to read everyone else's lists!
