2010: Member Grow Lists

**Mischka** · November 16, 2009

This is the time of year when I start to compose my list of tomato varieties for the upcoming season. I've learned to do this early, so that I have plenty of time to figure out which varieties I need to order seeds for. I'm attempting several F1 crosses this year and some will be grown out just for hybridizing.

In addition to the plants I put in here at my place, I've been asked to start seedlings for gardens at a local historical farm homestead that was built in 1757. Since most farmers didn't grow tomatoes in the 1700's, I'm free to decide which heirloom/OP varieties will be planted there.

My list so far, in no particular order:

Aunt Ruby's German Green
Cheeseman's (var. cheesmanii)
Green Doctors
Cherokee Chocolate
Cherokee Purple
Malakhitovaya Shkatulka
Mortgage Lifter (Pale Leaf Strain)
Heinz 1370
Heinz 1350
Heinz 1439
JTD
Lutescent Long Red
Stick
Orange King
Brandy Boy F7
Berkeley Tie Dye
Tess's Land Race Currant (var. pimpinellifolium)
TGSC Black Cherry
Wild Tomato Lycopersicon piriforme
Wild Tomato Lycopersicon esculentum x peruvianum
Wild Tomato Lycopersicon glandulosum
Wild Tomato Lycopersicon skorospelka
Black Sea Man
Opalka
P20 F3
Stupice
Ananas Noire
Lucky Cross
Brad's Black Heart
JD's Special C-Tex
New Big Dwarf
Dr. Carolyn Pink
Pink German Tree
Lutescent
Variegated
Jersey Devil
Grandma Mary's Paste
Martino's Roma
Dr. Lyle
Moreton Hybrid F1
Marianna's Peace
SunGold F1

I'll update this as needed. I'd be very interested to see what you are all planning for your 2010 gardens.
