Girl Girl's Weird Thing is on my list, too.

I also want to try Esterina F1 from Johnny's. I may order a pack of Marbonne F1 as well to grow in the high tunnel.

And there's always new stuff from Wild Boar Farms that looks fun.

Japanese Pink Cherry
Matt's Wild Cherry
Medovaya Kaplya
Porter
Sweetie
Texas Wild Cherry
WOW
& maybe a few others.

In raised beds - Sungold F1, Suncherry Extra Sweet F1, and others.

OK. I got bit hard by the tomato bug this year so I have space for about 50.

I also plan to plant some rootstock seed to try grafting for the first time. I'll use any extra seedlings that I would otherwise throw out. So far, the disease pressure in my garden is fairly low but I have limited space and I will not always be able to rotate.

Here is my tentative list but I'm hoping Seed Swap Santa will bring me a few substitutes:

Kapidag Red
Kopek Hayasi
Tekin’s Bugarian Pink

Aunt Ruby’s German Green
Girl Girl’s Wild Thing
Idaho Hillbilly
Pineapple
Orange Jazz^
Ruby Gold
Casey’s Pure Yellow
Brandywine Cowlicks^
Cosmonaut Volkov
Large Red^
Rosso Sicilian^
Costolulo Genovese^
German Johnson, Benton p
Weisnichts Ukranian p^
Rebel Yell p^
Pruden’s Purple p^
Caspian Pink p^
Omar’s Lebanese p
Red Barn
Old German

Chocolate Stripe
Black from Tula
JD’s Special C-Tex
Daniel Burson
Brad’s Black Heart
Black Sea Man
Black Krim
Black Prince
Black Plum
Paul Robeson

PASTE:
Polish Linguisa
Opalka Paste

CHERRIES:
Galina’s
Sun Gold F1 TMV
Chadwick’s Cherry
Isis Candy
Black Cherry
Ron’s Carbon Copy
Purple Bumblebee
Sunrise Bumblebee

This year's plan:

I'm grafting all my in ground tomatoes for the first time,
I've scaled back my raised bed plants by three (one row), and
I'm eliminating all grow bag plants except for the dwarf project grow outs (these will not be grafted)

As for what I'm growing, this is as far as I'm going until I see what the Swap adds to my seed collection --

Eating (going for variety again this year):

One cherry (Franchi cherry)

One early (probably Moskvich)

Hearts -
Yellow/orange (TBD)
Pink (probably Cuor Di Beau)
Red (probably Donskoi)

Beefsteak/Round -
Yellow/orange (probably Azoychka)
Pink (probably Seek No Further Love Apple)
Red (TBD)

Repeat Pastes:

Santa Maria
Nudi Family Heirloom
Oroma
Buddy Runyon
San Marzano Redorta
Russian 117 (also good for eating)

New pastes - five varieties TBD

I bought some Esterina from farmers market this past summer and saved seeds. It was the best cherry tomato I have ever tasted.
So I will try F2 to see what I get. I like them sweet.

I decided to limit the number of tomatoes in my garden next year. I'm thinking 4 varieties, 1 plant each. Here is my tentative list:

1.Ananas Noir
2.Bull's Heart
3.Canestrino
4.Unknown red slicer, seeds saved from unknown variety.

I know it will be difficult for me to keep my tomatoes at a minimum since I have seeds for several new varieties but, this year, I felt like a slave to my tomato plants, not fun....
