All to say that at the time I made those choices I'd grown about 1200 varieties and now it's 3,000 plus and counting. I was slowed down after I fell in Dec of 2004 and had to use a walker.

So lots of newer great varieties in the interim but I'll still stick with many that I did include in the book.

Well, you did a great job because most have stood the test of time in my opinion. Which reminds me I just tasted Earl of Edgecombe for the first time at the Buffalo~Niagara Tomato party last year, and I loved it!! So I will be growing it this year.

In case anyone is wondering 1-113 are all from Carolyn's book. 114 was someone else's favorite. 115-123 are favorites of mine not listed in the book except for 121 which is a favorite of a couple other friends. Then 124-130 are other people's favorites mostly Craig's (NCTomatoman) if I remember correctly.
