HELP! My 2011 List--gotta to rank/narrow it!

emzybo · February 12, 2011

Yikes!

I need help narrowing my "to-plant" list down*!! We have the space, but I am going to have to mostly make all-new plots, so I don't think I'll be able to amend/improve enough soil for all these. Can y'all help me select the best of what I have listed? Trying to limit myself to about 20-24 plants total and 1-2 per each chosen variety. All constructive comments are greatly appreciated!

Here are the varieties of tomato seed I own/have ordered:

Aunt Gertie's Gold
Aunt Lucy's Italian Paste
Aunt Ruby's German Green
Beefsteak
Better Boy
Big Boy
Big Rainbow
Black Cherry
Black Krim
Bloody Butcher
Boxcar Willie
Brandywine Pink
Cherokee Purple
Currant
Early Girl
Green Zebra
Kellogg's Breakfast
Large Red Cherry
Lucky Cross
Matina
Mule Team
Old Brooks
Pork Chop
Pruden's Purple
Red Robin
Remy Rouge
Rinaldo
Rio Grande
Roma
Rutgers
San Marzano
San Marzano 2
Stump of the World
Stupice
Sungold
Supersweet 100
Yellow Brandywine

*I do want to have plenty of good saucing/canning tomatoes.

Thanks in advance for your help!
