That's a lot of seedlings! What do you do with them all? I did about 50 tomatoes, 30 peppers, and am just giving away the last of those I didn't plant.

About 90 varieties will be going in my mom's, grandma's, and other friends' and families' gardens as well as my home garden plot. The remaining 275 open-pollinated slicer varieties I will be trialing in giant 100 foot rows. The goal of the project is to discover which tomato varieties appeal to me. I will save seeds from all varieties that produce ripe tomatoes, for genetic preservation, but in the future I will only grow out the varieties that I prefer for vigor,aesthetic appeal, and flavor. Its not only a trial among a large diversity of varieties, but it will also be a trial within each population of a given variety as each seedling in a cluster of plants will compete to be the dominant vine out of the group.

How are those tomatoes going? You looks like you have a ton of varieties. Are you trying any new ones this year? Any stand-out performers?
