Help me round out my varieties for sale

Anijunga · January 18, 2010

Last year I sold about 800 tomato plants in my rural town in Ontario, Canada. This year, I'm scaling back to about 500-600 plants. Although, many people are learning more each year about heirloom tomatoes, I still find that folks want a juicy red for sandwiches and red cherries. The plants I had a hard time selling were yellow and orange coloured tomatoes (I learned my lesson the first year and no longer offer white tomatoes).

Looking at my list, is there anything you can suggest that I should put on my list of varieties to sell? Some that I've been considering are: Red Penna, Wes, Snow White (b/c of the reviews), JD's Special C-Tex, KBX, German Red Strawberry, Prue, Galina, Earliana, Matt's Wild Cherry and Sara's Galapagos.

Thanks!
