I think scoring a lower number is a huge positive. Look at all the delicious tomatoes you have to look forward to. I mean, it's a BLT storm maker.

RobinB · August 17, 2013

Wow, I've got a ways to go, only a 16 for me! I guess I'll just have to keep doing this for a long long time.

b54red · August 17, 2013

I got 44 and probably will not be adding many more since I am trying to cut back on the number of varieties I grow each year. A fun exercise. Thanks Remy.

Man, I only had 3. It would have been 4 but none of my Stupice germinated.

livinonfaith · August 17, 2013

Okay, if Steve gets to cheat, I'm going to count KBX too! And my Cowlicks Brandywine for one of the brandywines.

So now I'm up to ten!

salix · August 17, 2013

42 for me - unless I cheat like Steve and count KBX. Yay, up to 43! Like Kath, my plan is to cut down to absolute favourites. That's why I just put in an order for 5 new ones last evening...

51....I WILL grow all of Carolyn's 100 one of these days!

ScottinAtlanta · August 17, 2013

Third year of gardening, and I am up to 25! I feel good about that.

Zana · August 17, 2013

I've grown 39 of these in the past. But I have seeds for 78 of the total so I could probably complete the list given the time and space to grow them.

Thanks for posting this challenge Remy. I had no idea I'd grown that many of Carolyn's 100 at this point.

simmran1 · August 18, 2013

And for me just 15, but I have to say Box Car Willie should be in every BLT lover's garden.

A fun post for any heirloom tomato lover Remy!

Ah, 10 favorites. Now that is a bit more difficult to narrow down. I'm going with the 100 from the book, but there are certainly newer favorites in the add on list. I guess I cheated a bit, too, as I grow Lindas Faux rather than the original Akers West Virginia. Then I love and always grow Amish Paste, Brianna, Druzba, German Red Strawberry, Green Zebra, Kelloggs Breakfast, Matina, Opalka, Orange Strawberry and Winsall.

Mark0820 · August 18, 2013

Just 11 for me.

I'm so glad everyone has enjoyed this!
