This list is certainly subject to change, and includes some experimental unstable offerings, and does not include my own varieties-in-the-works (between 25-50, not sure). Yup, I got it bad!

One heck of a list! I see you have multiple brandywines and I keep seeing posts where people compare and declare one better than the others. Do you find distinct differences between them? You must, since you grow several every year. I have seeds for a few different ones, but have never grown any. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Andre, thanks for the corrections; I’ll try to fix them on my spreadsheet. I mostly grow the various brandywines because I’m still comparing them, and they are all good anyway. Can’t have enough brandywines.
I grow for market, well, market finances my tomato obsession. What I don’t sell or can gets dehydrated, which still sell pretty well in the off season. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

New Big Dwarf
Tastywine Cherokee Tiger Rosella Purple Dwarf Sweet Sue Tasmanian Chocolate Rainbow Dwarf Red Viper Dwarf None of these survived to fruiting last year. I discovered last year the mite is a problem with all tomato plants here in the Bay Area, so this year I am prepared. But the dwarf plants seem to be hit harder, faster and struggle more with it, while the standard plants survive to produce fruit. Uluru Ochre, Dwarf Purple Heart, Lime Green Salad and Hahms Gelbe made it and fruited, as did Dw Arctic Rose after being overwintered. I have had this experience with all dwarf plants the last three years. This year I am growing all in containers (EBs or grow bags) with new soil. Nothing produced in ground at the community garden in 2017 - it was all completely wiped out. I was going to solarize but I think it would be better to sterilize the containers and start over. Quote:

OK. Here's my list. There's no room for more, so if I change it, I'll have to drop something. The outdoor varieties all have reported DTMs of 65 or less (except for Sakharnyi Pudovichok, which is a great producer anyway).
Greenhouse Tall (7): Cherokee Green George Detsikas Italian Red 2 x Girl Girl’s Weird Thing Not Purple Strawberry 2 x Rosado de Ayerbe Greenhouse short (7): Black Krim Bulgarian Triumph Indian Stripe PL KARMA Pink Maglia Rosa or Lucky Tiger ? Orange Jazz Pale Perfect Purple Outdoors (13) Batyanya Belyi Naliv EM-Champion Gregori’s Altai Jaune Flamme Lyana Pearly Pink Orange (Ron’s) Carbon Copy 2 x Sakharnyi Pudovichok Tarasenko Rozovyi Yamal Zolotoe Serdtse Steve |

Great list. Do you have a tall greenhouse and a short greenhouse? Can I ask the height of them? Thanks! |

Everyone is making me want to start a list too, even though I need to do a serious cleaning of my indoor grow area which has yucky spotted overwintered peppers now.
So instead I made a category list until I can lay things out: Beefsteak (includes hybrids and crosses) Slicer Early Cherry Basket (for garden clubs) Paste Orange GWR Dwarf (for garden clubs) Micros already started but remaining tiny! Getting great ideas from above in the meantime. - Lisa |

Pete, My first time too. I think Bower and possibly oakley have threads with windowsill photos on this from last year. My micros are going very slowly. I used some old coir pellets and potted them up with the coir on the bottom with a new small bag of Burpee Organic until its time to break out the huge bags. I would start them in a better quality mix next time and not change anything except fertilize as needed when they go outside. I was actually hoping to eat them before it was time to move outside but my timing failed. |
