I've gone back and forth on my tentative list. I need more dirt!

I've got a combination of earthboxes and two 4x4 raised beds available this year. I've got seeds for many more heirlooms than I have space for, and I am having trouble finding the sweet spot between trying new varieties and replanting favorites I know will produce. We also tend to have issues with lack of heat until September and powdery mildew, though I have had great success with some hybrids like Granadero. So now I am having the same dilemma wrt hybrids vs heirloom.

I was going to grow Jaune Flamme because it has done so well for me in the past. I tried Isis Candy last year in a failed attempt to branch out, and was bitterly disappointed. I am considering SunGold this year because everyone raves about it. I also want to try Big Beef for the same reason.

Decisions, decisions! Perhaps I should refine down to a pick from list and post it to get suggestions?
