Cecil,
I can't plant out until mid-June without protection, so I always start 20-30 in Walls O'Water in mid April to early May. That lets me get a head start on things. I don't think I could pull off an 80+ day tomato without them!

About 2/3 of my list is on my blog. http://kctomatotimes.wordpress.com/2...to-plant-list/

I won't have all of those 80 in my personal garden, but should have about half of them. I also have about 80 more types I want to start, but will only start about 20-30 more of them.

I add two or three new beds each year just to keep up with the ever incresing list of "must grows" we've discovered!

If I did get a space cleared for some containers in time and did have a spot for starting seed, I'd grow Black Krim, Marianna's Peace(1st try), maybe Stupice and a cherry. If it doesn't happen in time, I'll just see what plants the local nurseries are carrying. Since I haven't lived here for 10 years maybe I'll find a few nice surprises.

there will be more, these are the for sure ones. between two gardens and my pots I cam manage about 35 ish give or take. This is an experimental year for me ...

Thanks largely to Tania's site and Heather's seed swap I have so many new ones that I am not growing anything I have ever grown before aside from isis candy which is my favorite cherry. I am hoping to find some new favorites! Will add more and edit once I find out what comes from Tormato's seed swap and also have requested two from Carolyn's 2013 seed offer so will also be growing whatever those may be. So excited to get started but still waaaaay too early for me so i will enjoy hearing about what you all are doing in the meantime.

Worley Red is one of many reasons I am now a huge fan of seed exchanges. I received it from the Tomato and Pepper exchange here a few months ago. I looked at the packet and there is no name on it as to who it's from. It does say on the packet that it's an heirloom.

I grew Worley Red last year. My seeds came from the annual seed swap get together at the Sustainable Mountain Agriculture Center in Berea, KY hosted by Dr. Bill Best. I assume Worley Red is an Appalachian heirloom. Checkout heirlooms.org which is the web site for SMAC. Good information there on it and other heirlooms.

I'm still struggling with myself... Toooo many very promising varieties I'd like to try, but only space for about 100 - 120 plants. It's a real torture for me to cut back my list - the first tentative list (from November) had about 180 varieties and in the meantime, I've received a lot more. I'll have to do the final choice after my vacation, but I know from experiences that the real final choice is only made when dropping the seeds into the tray... and I always end up with more varieties than reasonable. clara

Handsome list Marla. Your garden will be delightful.

HWB- I'm curious, why all the CAMPBELLS and HEINTZ varieties. I've never grown any, but from time to time I see them adorning the lists. Do you use them for making catchup and soup? Disease resistance? What's their distinctive charm?

Thanks,
Naysen
