Very happy you are growing a few of ours! Please let me know how they do!

I will complement the Spanish steaks with the varieties sent to me by Moshou-Gordo Extremeňo, Muchamiel and Rosa de Barbastro. Of the other seeds he sent me, I'll try Mom's Heart (the only new heart for 2020) and Timpure de Tiganesi. I will also try to germinate old seeds of Runicul Ludovic and Cernet.
I will expand the cultivation of Fred Hempel varieties with other varieties, so in 2020 I will grow:
Talves F1, Green Bee F1, Madera F1, Lucky Agi F1 and OP varieties - Creamsicle Grape and Marzano Fire (the only new variety for sauces and drying).
I mustn't forget about Dr Carolyn cherry (from Lotte)
From my best friend Robert (RJGlew), I will soon get seeds of Blush, Dikovinka, Early Doll F1, Pretty in Pink F1, Sunchocola F1 and Sunorange F1
Behind the window are growing seedlings of varieties of determinant tomatoes for hotbeds (among them about 8 varieties from Tormato from MMMM 2018)
As for the other vegetables I will grow as usual: kohlrabi, early salads, radishes, peas, potatoes (also from TPS sent by Rajun Gardner- thanks), a lot of aubergines and ochers (thanks for Brynn- MdTNGrdner seeds), bush beans, Hungarian Lima and mainly the Greek Gigantes (Fazoleus coccineus). I hope I didn't forget anything.
At the moment, my wife and I are not having a nice Christmas time. On Saturday I buried our beloved Tess (my avatar) in the garden and now I sit here and when I remember her I cry.
Because I have found many good and selfless friends on Tomatoville and I don't know who will be where also in the future, I stay on both Tomataoville.com and Tomato★★★★★★★★.com. I think it will be possible in the future.

Where did you get 'Grasa de Calina' from?

From Carolyn's Last Seed Offer put on by #FarmerShawn in the Available for Trade sub-forum. I haven't grown this variety out before, so as part of my "honoring Dr. Carolyn Male" tomato garden this year, I wanted to grow out some from her that I've received over the years, as well as a few new ones.

After a few years of not doing much in the garden (mainly due to health issues, but for other reasons as well), I've decided to give it another go for 2020. Just using seeds I already have on hand and trying to keep the number down to 12.

So here's my tomato list for 2020:

BKX
Cherokee Carbon
Bear Creek

KBX
Sun Sugar

Aunt Ginny's Purple
Eva Purple Ball
Dester
Momotaro
Bradley

Mountain Gem
Big Beef

After a couple tough years, I'm attempting to start from seed again. (The last two years I just ended up growing store-bought varieties, which isn't nearly as satisfying.) Here's what my list looks like:

Experimental cross - probably will plant out 4-5
Russian Queen
Tlacolula Ribbed
Perfect Storm
African Queen
Barry's Crazy Cherry
Berkeley Tie Dye Heart
Hillbilly PL
Mystery red beefsteak (no clue what variety this is, but always earns a spot in my garden)

And for peppers:
Wenk's Yellow Hots
Aji Chinchi Amarillo
Guajillo
Ancho
Marconi Red
Cayenne
Fish
Chile de Arbol

I haven't been around since 2011; long story.
So far, my list is:
Heshpole
A variety I call Ted Steak... it's about f12 selection from Better Boy.
A variety I call Ted Globe. Same as above, but out of Big Boy.

Both are pink.

If I get any Djena Lee to germinate. My seed is 2004 and 2007.
If I can get any Faribo Gold. Seed 2004.
Mingold has germinated two from 2005 seed.
Kotlas has been in my garden since Johnny's renamed it from Sprint about 1995. I got 50% germination from 2009 seed!

Martin's super Roma (Paquebot) left me with one plant that resembles striped Roma in 2009. I have two up from that seed saving.

Also from him is Chet's Italian black...a large striped cherry.

In a few days, I plan to start Mountain Magic Hybrid (Campari tomatoes)
Wisconsin 55
Burbank slicer

Welcome back eyolf.
I researched your Heshpole-sounds terrific. Really hope your old seeds can produce again! The rest of your list sounds great as well. Many of those haven't been talked about around here too much.

Some additions:
Taiga
Karma Purple
Cotelee de Valence
Packenham Pear

And from the Carolyn tribute:
Grosse Cotelee
Noire de Crimee
(likely some other varieties from her last seed swap from FarmerShawn)

Fred, the Taiga and Karma Purple I bought from Artisan, and was included a free pack of Agi Red F1. Thank you! What can you tell me about this one? I have a few slots left and am tempted.
