Default What are you going to grow next year, NO MATTER WHAT?

For me it's Reisentraube and Big Beef.

I'm not quite sure but I want more of the tomatoes with the tart, acidic, old fashioned when tomatoes tasted like tomatoes taste.

I haven't the faintest idea of what will be on the list for next year. I don't even start thinking about that until Fall.

As it is, with all this rain I'm just hoping that the few plants I have here at home give some fruits and that the new varieties for 2013 as grown by the good folks who help me will also bear well. And they are in NC, IL and western NYS where there's also been lots of rain.

I still need to acquire seed for most of these, but these are the ones that have caught my attention between when I committed to this year's plants and now:

Prudens Purple, Neves Azorean Red, Indian Stripe, Lucky Cross

For cherries I'd like to try sungold and jaune flamme. I'd also like to grow out one of those beautiful bumblebee varieties. For large sized ones, I'd like to try one new GWR variety. I loved green zebra last year. I started absinthe this year but all the seedlings died out. So one additional GWR for next year for sure.

Italian Heirloom, Violet Jasper, Juane Flamme, and Red Zebra are my only repeats.

But I am hunting down a few new ones for next year. I am really hunting (and waiting patiently) for Sunrise Bumblebee and Heidi (for drying).

I am also trying Maiden's Gold next year, no matter what. Got the seed in a trade.

I have Sabre seeds that have been sitting for 2 years waiting their turn. I always run out of room before getting to them so they will be first in line for next year.

I also won't know for at least 2 more months aside from Sungold, which is forever on my NO MATTER WHAT list. Actually, since I've already lost my Mortgage Lifter, Estler's plant to disease/decapitation I guess it's automatically made the 2014 list since I still have some seeds left. The rest of the slots will be filled by whatever wins this year's taste, production and longevity tests...along with anything else that I absolutely cannot resist between now and sowing time.
