HI, Hank - I've been MIA from the forums most of the winter because of illnesses (nothing serious) and musical projects. But I'm back to help organize MAGTAG VII!
As far as varieties are concerned, I'm a little limited because I'm ordering plants. I'm not growing from seed this year since David will be doing some major rearranging of the basement, and that way, my seed starting equipment will be one less thing for him to worry about. So this is my (boring) list so far:
Brandywine Sudduth
Italian Heirloom (from Seed Savers)
Cherokee Purple
Gold Medal
Hungarian Heart
Sungold (of course)
Black Krim
That's only 7, so I can throw in a few more that people give me or that I find at local nurseries.
BTW, someone on Facebook posted a list of common nursery veggie plants that are owned by Monsanto ... I was happy to note that none of my varieties are on that list. I'll post the list if I can find it. I remember "Lemon Boy" was on the list; as was "Sun Sugar," but not "Sungold."
So far, "Sungold" is the only hybrid I'm growing.
