Sure, if you're a SH (southern hemisphere) grower.

Ya know my grow list for next year is not fully written yet but I have some really cool maters thanks to some good folks here and on a couple other forums. All five I grew this year will return in 2010.


They are

Al-Kuffa - still need

Cosmonaut Volkov

Thessaloniki

Cowlicks Brandywine

Pink Brandywine

returning after a years long absence

Abe Lincoln

New for 2010

Vorlon

Earl's Faux

Carbon

Stump of The World

Costoluto Fiorentino

Gigantesque

Goose Creek


That's just some of them I have some take two maters also( never made it to the garden ). 2010 should prove fun (and exciting in some cases). I can't wait to try these maters.

right now it's down to 40 for next year (from this year's 60). will try to stick with old seeds. after this year's disaster (mostly due to herbicide drift from who knows where) i'd be very satisfied with much less as long as they're happy and healthy plants.

Black Cherry
Black Pineapple
Black Russian
Brown Berry
Carbon
Casey’s Pure Yellow
Cencara
Chocolate Stripes
Flamme
Giant Belgium
Golden Gem
Grahams Good Keeper
Green Grape
Green Sausage
Green Zebra
Greenwich
Japanese Dwarf
Japanese Trifele
JD's Special C-Tex
Kosovo
Lime Green Salad
Limmony
Momotaro
Opalka
Orange Russian
Pearly Pink Cherry
Pink Plum Rosa
Piriform
Russian Red
Russian Rose
Sandy's Chocolate Cherry
Suncherry
Sunsugar
Sweet Tumbler
Virginia Sweets
Vorlon
Wapsinicon Peach
White Queen
White Tomesol

might even go further down to 30. which 10 to let go will be difficult to decide.

My grow list may change but here it is as of today.

German Pancake,
A flat red tomato of German origins brought over by immigrants that settled in Texas around 1840.

Store bought #61.
One of the best of the shippers, this tomato was one of the, if not the first tomato sold in stores.
Some say it is very much like Brandywine but holds up to shipping.

Perfect Patch,
This tomato was famous in the south pacific during the war and grown by Japanese and allied soldiers alike.
Story has it that in the battle of the Coral Sea a crate of seeds was found by a destroyer and these seeds were found in it.
It is said that allied soldiers would line the runways with these plants to let wayward flyers know they were at the right island.

Dust Bowl,
This tomato is so hardy that it is the only variety that would grow here in the south west during the dust bowl days.
It can really take the heat and keep on growing.

Arctic Circle,
This tomato can handle temperatures in the 20s with no noticeable damage to the plant.
A real must in the northern climates.

Texas Tornado,
This dark red tomato is so hardy that it is said that the plants can withstand winds like no other tomato can.
Story has it that the seeds came from a garden that had tomatoes growing in it this is no big deal but no seeds had been sown and they sprouted about 10 days after a tornado in the area.

Whiskers,
This tomato is orange and has whiskers about ½ inches long all over the fruit.
A cold hardy variety with outstanding flavor,

Bristles,
This plant has thorns and originated in the desert southwest.
To date no critters have ever got to the fruit if this variety due to the thorns.
A good flavored tomato with just a hint of cactus taste,

Right Wing,
This tomato is all the rage this year with the GOP; it is what you might call a conservative plant.
As a matter of fact this plant will only produce one tomato per plant and the plant will suck all of the moisture from the rest of the garden for its own needs,
Plant this one far away from the garden,

Barrister,
This tomato costs so much to grow and gives so little back I can’t imagine why anyone would grow it.
But as we all know you just can’t do without one.

Left Wing.
This tomato promises a great deal of production but with the complicated growing habit and lack of a true central structure it just doesn’t put out what you give to it.

Anaconda,
This variety has long branches that will literally choke out the weeds in the nearby vicinity leaving the rest of the garden to its self.
A good producer with a great flavor with just a hint of chicken,

Sooner,
This tomato was developed in Oklahoma at OU, it is somewhat of a failure due to the fact that it produces so soon that you have to pick the fruit the year before you plant the seeds.
Sort of a catch 22,

Spring break,
This tomato is popular with the collage crowd due to its drinking habits and the fact that it is topless,
It is said that if you pour beer on it, its branches will pull back and show you its tomatoes.

The list will get longer as I decide what else to grow.

Worth - you are one of a kind. What kind? I'm not sure, but you are certainly full of whatever it is. Have to laugh even though this is a serious business.
