2017 tentative grow list
 

What's everyone thinking of growing next year?

Sunsugar
Ggwt
Are for certain but everything else is up in the air.

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.

In our main garden, we are going to grow some of the varieties that have grown and produced very well for us in the past. They are ones I saved seeds from.

Ambrosia Red
Helsing ★★★★★★★★ Blue
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.

Tentatively speaking I will grow close to 30 varieties.
I will post my grow out list in another post later. I will have lots varieties for the first time plus my favorites.

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:

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

Here's my tentative list. (Original T'ville source in parentheses, otherwise purchased)

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.

All for pots or grow bags

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....

10 favorite tomatoes and 10 new to me's, and some peppers:yes:
