Making final decisions

valereee · May 8, 2006

Well, I'm down to the final decision.

Definites:

Kimberly
Baker's Family Heirloom
Ixmiquilpan Wild
Guido
Red Penna
Roma Rio Grande

Almost certainly:

Omar's Lebanese
Cherokee Purple
Wes
Sungold
Noir de Crimee

Other possibilities:

Sophie's Choice
Persimmon
Matt's Wild
Matina
Ceylon
Lillian's Yellow Heirloom

I want to make sure I have all my bases covered -- early, late, cherry, beefsteak, paste. Other than that, taste is the only real consideration for me -- I'm the only tomato eater in my family, so production is barely even an issue though of course I'd like to get a few tomatoes from anything I do plant.

More of an issue is just taking care of the plants I do put in. I had nine plants last year and managed to mostly keep up with their care. I have only one of each variety, but all look basically healthy.

Advice welcome!
