From Carolyn's Last Seed Offer put on by #FarmerShawn in the Available for Trade sub-forum. I haven't grown this variety out before, so as part of my "honoring Dr. Carolyn Male" tomato garden this year, I wanted to grow out some from her that I've received over the years, as well as a few new ones.

After a few years of not doing much in the garden (mainly due to health issues, but for other reasons as well), I've decided to give it another go for 2020. Just using seeds I already have on hand and trying to keep the number down to 12.
So here's my tomato list for 2020: BKX Cherokee Carbon Bear Creek KBX Sun Sugar Aunt Ginny's Purple Eva Purple Ball Dester Momotaro Bradley Mountain Gem Big Beef |

After a couple tough years, I'm attempting to start from seed again. (The last two years I just ended up growing store-bought varieties, which isn't nearly as satisfying.) Here's what my list looks like:
Experimental cross - probably will plant out 4-5 Russian Queen Tlacolula Ribbed Perfect Storm African Queen Barry's Crazy Cherry Berkeley Tie Dye Heart Hillbilly PL Mystery red beefsteak (no clue what variety this is, but always earns a spot in my garden) And for peppers: Wenk's Yellow Hots Aji Chinchi Amarillo Guajillo Ancho Marconi Red Cayenne Fish Chile de Arbol |

I haven't been around since 2011; long story.
So far, my list is: Heshpole A variety I call Ted Steak... it's about f12 selection from Better Boy. A variety I call Ted Globe. Same as above, but out of Big Boy. Both are pink. If I get any Djena Lee to germinate. My seed is 2004 and 2007. If I can get any Faribo Gold. Seed 2004. Mingold has germinated two from 2005 seed. Kotlas has been in my garden since Johnny's renamed it from Sprint about 1995. I got 50% germination from 2009 seed! Martin's super Roma (Paquebot) left me with one plant that resembles striped Roma in 2009. I have two up from that seed saving. Also from him is Chet's Italian black...a large striped cherry. In a few days, I plan to start Mountain Magic Hybrid (Campari tomatoes) Wisconsin 55 Burbank slicer

Welcome back eyolf.
I researched your Heshpole-sounds terrific. Really hope your old seeds can produce again! The rest of your list sounds great as well. Many of those haven't been talked about around here too much. |

Some additions:
Taiga Karma Purple Cotelee de Valence Packenham Pear And from the Carolyn tribute: Grosse Cotelee Noire de Crimee (likely some other varieties from her last seed swap from FarmerShawn) Fred, the Taiga and Karma Purple I bought from Artisan, and was included a free pack of Agi Red F1. Thank you! What can you tell me about this one? I have a few slots left and am tempted. |

My sowinglist is also ready and sown, only 8 were not germinating.I resowed yesterday and hope they now will, some of the sorts only 1 were germinating.and a lot were only 2 germinating but that's fine.I sow 4 seeds of each (if I have 4) and keeps one plant for myself, the rest is given to family and friends and the rest is sold at markets or at the roadside.
