Cecil, it's a cherry tomato from Casey's Seeds. It sounds really good to me, too. New for me this year.

Oh, that figures; I only like red & black cherry types.

You guys's lists look good! I honestly still have no idea what I will be choosing this year... I also want to grow some from the Dwarf Project, so I'll probably just devote my hoophouse (six plants?) to that.

I suppose I'll have to buy a lot of containers to satisfy my tomato variety needs!

Cecil,

I'm assuming the BB in BBxEPB stands for Bloody Butcher. Have you grown this one before? It sounds interesting.

livinonfaith · January 18, 2012

Still not completely sure on this. I want about three more large beefsteak or heart types, but want to make room for a bunch of dwarf babies. Also, I have four of these growing right now in the greenhouse, so I may make changes based on how that goes.

Seeds I saved from last year;
Hillbilly
Japanese Black Trifele
Amish Paste
German Johnson
Cherokee Purple
Eva Purple Ball

bought seeds;
Yellow Trifele
Kibit's Ukrainian
De Barrao Pink
Orange Russian 117
Green Zebra
Jaune Flamme
Striped Cavern
Black Cherry
Matt's Wild Cherry
Little White Rabbit (cherry)

Other
Green tomatillo
Aunt Molly's ground cherry

I'm trying all straw bales this year, so we'll see. That's a lot of bales.

augiedog55 · January 18, 2012

Barkeater. if you go to selectedplants.com there is a bbx epb. its big beef x eva purple ball f3

cecilsgarden1958 · January 19, 2012

Barkeater, yes the previous poster is right. Big Beef x Eva Purple Ball.
I got the seeds from fusion-power (Darell), but my records says he sent me F4 seed. He wanted me to try them in my troubled area. Last year I lost the seedling, but I'm trying it again.

Yes Linda, your asssumption is correct and you got all five of your first choices and I think your seeds went out maybe Tuesday.

I'm way behind on packing seeds, that I know, but doing the best I can.
