My tentative grow list is approximately like this:

For fruit production

72 Ot'Jagodka
72 Joseph's Earliest Slicer Landrace
24 Matina
6 Yellow slicer
6 Yellow pear
12 Roma
12 Orange cherry

For Plant breeding:
  • A grex collected from late season indeterminate plants with loose/open flowers.
  • F1 crosses between Jagodka and plants with open/loose flowers.
  • A collaborator in Alabama is currently growing the F1 crosses. I am also growing them under grow lights. Hopefully one or the other of us will get F2 seed for planting in May.
  • A grex of wild species and/or crosses with domestic tomatoes.
  • A few that I don't remember right now.

After years of growing hundreds of varieties each year, i finally began to realize...No more! Ended last year saying 10 tomato plants in 2015!!!
Well, that's already changed before the first seed has been started.

I received seed from Darlene for:
Margaret Curtain
Rebel Yell
Not Purple Strawberry
Dester
McKinley
Texwine
Dixiewine
Weisnicht's Ukrainian
Turkey
Mt Fresh-F-1 and
Penn Red
Those paying attention will notice that's already more than the ten I was planning on.
From my favorites, I'm planting:
German Johnson-Benton Strain
German Johnson- Benton strain X ?black P.L. I'm calling Barlow's Best Black (Bear Creek cross)
Cowlick's Brandywine
Brandywine-Glicks
Bear Creek
Barlow Jap
Cherokee Purple (Homegrown Harvest)
Red Brandywine P.L. (Homegrown Harvest)
Dana's Dusky Rose
Earl's Faux
Tarasenko6 and
Mt fresh (from my largest grown last year).

That's a total of 23 which just happens to be the exact amount to fill what I tilled up last fall in the new tomato garden.
The old tomato garden which now has rows and rows of Bloomsdale long standing Spinach will be getting more Bloomsdale long standing, as well as Salad Sensation, baby's leaf, and big ruffles hybrid spinach's along with America, another heirloom spinach. Will also add Detroit dark red and bull's blood beets.
Then more from Darlene:
slick pic summer squash, zephyr summer squash, saffron summer squash, tigress zucchini.
Crockett beans, Provider green beans, rattlesnake pole beans, maxibel bush beans, and a pueblo bean mix, containing 8 different beans.
2 different Brussels sprouts, Royal Marvel and Long Island improved
2 cauliflowers, cheddar and graffiti
Arcadia broccoli
bolshoi kale; Gonzales cabbage; Michilli chinese cabbage; slonovo uno peppers;
zebrune and ambition shallots

I just picked up seeds today for Black seeded Simpson Lettuce and Iceberg Lettuce as well as Early Golden Acre cabbage as well asjack O' Lantern pumpkin.

What was going to be a much smaller garden has become anything but...
enjoy!

It is so hard to choose. Most of the seeds are from MMMM. I am planning to grow some large ones, cherries and dwarfs. Not many medium size. I will buy the more common varieties such as CP, KB, sungold, black cherry ...from nursery.

I love it when people post lists longer than mine. Makes me feel just a little less crazy...

Keep them coming!

Last year was my first good year with heirloom tomatoes
They were a bit overwhelming(almost 80 plants), seeding, planting, tying, pruning, harvesting, and preserving all by myself. I was done with tomatoes by October.
Now it's January and I can't wait to get a seed in the ground.

New varieties to me are (*)

Variety
Absinthe*
Antique Roman*
Black Icicle*
Black Krim
Black Vernissage
Bonnie Best
Brandywine (Suddith), Pink*
Brandywine, Yellow
Casino*
Cornuto delle Ande*
Green Zebra
Italian Franchi Giant Red Pear*
Jersey Devil
Juane Flamme
Kosovo
Opalka*
Piennolo del Vesuvio
Polish Linguisa*
San Marzano Lungo #2
San Marzano Redorta*
San Marzano, Plain
Stupice*
Super Italian Paste*

Trying out a lot of new sauce/paste varieties.

Thanks to Gary and all of you who contributed to MMMM.
Mostly just one or two plants each, except Jersey Devil which performed very well last year -I'll do 8 those of a 36-40 plant total.
My daughter is getting all the SM Lungo #2.
I'll set out 2 the last week of April under protection, most of them about May 10, and 4-6 the first week in June.

Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one
