Black Krim (2 plants)
Sungold (2 plants)
Mortgage lifter
Speckled roman
Wisconsin 55
Hawaiian pineapple
Indian stripe
San marzano
Kosovo
Amish paste
Brandy wine
Work release paste

Who knows what else. If I only have 3 plants I'll probably do a mortgage lifter, black Krim and something else. No pastes, just slicers.
Well since I'm a big liar (haha) and I went and got myself consumed in the dwarf project, my counts have changed.
I will be planting all in containers:
5 loxton lass
5 waratahs
5 chocolate lightning
3 pepper plants (2 sweet, 1 hot)
2 eggplant (rosa Bianca)

In the ground (which I may lose these as they are ripping out our garage come summer, and this spot borders it. )
Kosovo
Berkleys tie dye
Stump of the world
Lettuces
Radishes
Sugar snaps
Zukes
Cukes

I'm mainly planting Kosovo, stump of the world, and berkleys tie dye as they are new to me, and also to collect seed to pay it forward.

Aunt Ruby's German Green
and "T4" - Tormato's mystery plant... which is among those already germinating!

There are a number of large fruited tomatoes I would love to grow, but I'm growing in two community gardens and would rather lose a few small cherries to the "helpyourselfers" rather than a beautiful large heart, beefsteak, etc. I'm also doing a grow out for the dwarf project ......... so

Black Cherry
SunSugar F1
Kimberley
Aunt Ruby's Yellow Cherry
Roger's Sweet Light Yellow
Dwarf Jade Beauty
Sleeping Lady
Cheerful F2
Persimmon x unknown Heart F2
Durmitor

Please don't unsubcribe! There's no reason to do so! You have a very
interesting list and some unusual varieties. We'd all love to hear more
about them. Thanks for posting; we love to hear from people from other
countries. Your post is in the correct thread. Darlene

Agree with Darlene.

We have many tomato lovers from many countries here at Tomatoville and I also love to have folks from other countries for many reasons.

Your English is fine, no problem understanding it at all.

I don't know how to speak or write Czech, so you're way ahead of me already being able to use two languages.

I didn't start from seed this year so I was limited in the varieties I could choose. My plants have been in the ground for about a month. They are:

Black Krim
Box Car Willie
Better Boy
Cherokee Purple
Homestead 24
Ildi
Pruden's Purple
Sweet Million.

I'm back to reading and posting in garden forums after a hiatus of a few years. I hope to start from seed next season and try new varieties.

The seeds went into DE on Sunday, and of course, there have been a few changes from when I first posted my list:

Small/Cherries:

Casino Chips
Kimberley*
Yapnskiy Karlik*

Medium/Large Eating:

Aunt Gertie's Gold
Cherokee Purple
Dester
Giannini
Indiana Red
Italian Heirloom (Kukla Portuguese Heart will wait a year)
Liz Birt
Virginia Sweets*
Zogola

Pastes:

Costoluto Genovese*
Ernesto
Heidi (a late addition)
Franchi Giant Pear*
George O'Brien (Pantano Romanesco will wait a year)
Giant Sicilian Paste
Jersey Devil*
Nudi Family Heirloom
Opalka*
Polish Linguisa
Rinaldo
Rocky*
Romeo
Russo Sicilian Togeta*

And, the Dwarfs:

Dwarf Pink Passion
Tastywine*
Fred's Tie Die

* Repeats from 2012

My goal over the next couple of years is to pin down the pastes to eight or so reliable varieties that will produce enough to can and dry for the year, and then I can keep experimenting with the eating varieties!
