Oh. Dar, I wish I had room (and heat enough) for 3 of each.
Frankly, as so many of us, I don't know how many more years I can really expect to work in the garden, at the rate I can now, or if at all, to find just one, only one, tomato I'd grow if I were unable to manage any other variety. I need to find out if there's a tomato I just couldn't imagine giving up. (or maybe 2. ) Gotta try only one of each, right now. I hope I can thin it down next year, rather than throwing out all I grow this year and starting from scratch. I really hope that I find the perfect tomato for: Ease of germination, flavor, Earliness, flavor, disease resistance or tolerance, flavor, production, flavor, length of season, flavor, ripens after picked, flavor, holds well, flavor, dries well, flavor, cooks well, flavor. There might be other tests I might set the perfect tomato, but that will do for now. And of course, there are the climactically perfect, too, but we need not go there now. j |

I'm still playing with the numbers. I might have to eliminate a few I'm not sure yet but this is what I have in cups waiting for the weather to be right.

I need to cull some of these due to space limitation but I've got transplants for:

This is my first year with OP varieties, but kalinka does appear to be a vigorous plant.

Dell, I'm curious about your Costa Rican cherry b'c I too am growing a small one from Costa Rica but mine has a name and that's Cartago Pear.
I'm also growing Istra as well as Primorskyi Pacug, both from Iva in Slovenia and I thought she said that she had only sent Istra to Michael in the UK and myself/ No matter, both are large red beefs and I'm really looking forward to seeing how they do and taste. Phreddy from the UK summers in Bulgaria and he sent Marek's Pointy Heart to I think both Tania and me but he called it by two different names, Marek's Pointy Heart to one of us and Unnamed Bulgarian_________to the other. I'm too lazy to look the full name of the last one up right now. Great looking list BTW.

Whoa. I can't begin to think about growing some of the lists here.
Mine is simple but I have never grown any of these. Big Beef Bush Goliath Black Krim Sungold I was surprised to see Lowes has Black Krim this year and a local garden store has Cherokee Purple. Nice to see them getting different varieties rather than the standards. |

Nancy, who's going to help you pick all those tomatoes?!?! I hope you have enough volunteers to eat them all, so all those good tomatoes won't go to waste!

It's bitter sweet to see these lists, because I see a lot of varieties that I had to tear myself away from since I didn't have the room to grow every variety I wanted to grow. It's just a constant "OH, Yeah! I wanted to try that one TOOO!"

I can what we don't consume. We have homegrown tomatoes all year that way.
