Making final decisions
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! Val |

For me, if Cherokee Purple was anywhere nearby, my hand would automatically put it in. I would not be able to stop it!
