After a vow to cut back on the number of varieties and just grow my favorites plus a few of the most interesting varieties discussed on the forums I frequent. After a winter of dreaming and drooling, there are now 32 varieties in the dirt under lights in the basement. Last year it was 15 varieties and I was going to cut back from that.
I will not bore the crowd with a list, I just hope what there is will be ready for the Midwest Tomato Fest in late summer and that the old seed grow-outs do well enough to return seeds to the people who sent them to me. Looks like I need to get busy and build a bunch more cages. |

OK here's the list:
Caspian Pink Cherokee Purple German Head German Red Strawberry Kellogg's Breakfast Marianna's Peace Neve's Azorian Red Stump of the World Kosovo Shuntukski Velican (Giant) Ingegnoli Gigante Lisco Druzba Soldacki Polish Tatar of Mongolistan Zogola Kardinal Carbon Giant Syrian Andrew Rahart's Jumbo Red Aunt Gerties Gold Cuostralee Lillian's Yellow Heirloom Pink Brandywine (Suddath Strain) Red Robin Cherry Fox Cherry Yellow Brandywine (Platfoot) Turkey Chomp Large Jar That is only 29, but then I tend to exaggerate. Also in the dirt are 11 varieties of peppers and 6 or 8 herbs. Hope I haven't bit off more than I can chew. |
