i wil say i have grown between 125-150 varieties over the years. most of them over the last 15 years since i got married, bought our first computer, and discovered gardening forums. been gardening since my early teens (70s). i remember hanging on to my uncles roto tiller bouncing on our clay soil trying to break it up. years of amending with leaves, and grass clippings made it better. tomatos grown during the early years were my uncle steves from seed, a yellow variety for my dad probably sunray or lemon boy, a cherry variety, and a few larger reds from the local markets, mostly hybrids i reckon. this year the only hybrid will be sun gold. not sure how many varieties will be grown this year because i'm starting from scratch in a new location. if the ground is too wet i may have to do some raised beds.
