Calling Tucson/Southern Arizona Gardeners

Well, it's tomato starting time again. Do you have any favorite varieties for here in the desert? I haven't tried very many yet.

I'm impressed with production from the little Sophie's Choice plants. I'll probably always grow a few of them. As for big plants, I've had great success for 2 or 3 (? can't remember) years in a row with the San Marzano 2 seeds from Remy (Sampleseeds). Big plants that crank out a bunch of tomatoes.

I'm starting seeds today. I'm trying a few different ones this year. The list:

Sophie's Choice
Eckert Polish
San Marzano 2
Rosella Crimson (dwarf project)
Rinaldo
Druzba
Olive Hill (the free seeds this order from Remy were these)
