Default What I got so far..

1 potato leaf brandywine(totally tomatoes)
1 mountain pride(burpee)
2 early girls(1 burpee 1 totally tomatoes i think)
1 jubilee(burpee)
1 black krim
1 cherokee purple(bonnie)
1 mortage lifter(not sure can find out)
1 sungold(chef jeff i think)
1 big boy(burpee)

here in Nebraskastan it snowed two weeks ago..finally went in the ground 3 days after snow or so..on a beautiful 50 degree day..

lots of rain
lots of sun
in the 40's at night till this week

lots of worms in the garden
kgro 15-30-15

last year the black krim was huge in the summer heat
the brandywine was beautiful 7 foot tall with nice pink fruit maybe 13 on the plant or so..

park's whopper does good here but wanted jubilee and mortgage lifter instead

mad at myself for not getting a big beef..even though it wasn't spectacular here

should i make room for 2 more plants

early girl is a fav but nothing is early here

everybody grows celebrity here..and i don't because two years in a row it didn't do much in my garden..should i give the celeb one more try?

wish me luck thank you for your time

I've been to Alliance a few times. From age 12 I grew up in Sterling, CO.
You have had some COOOOL weather!!!

If you think You'd like Celebrity certainly grow it.

It sounds like your lineup is solid with some really great varieties.

I agree. Looks like you have a nice variety of tomato plants. Mountain Pride sounds interesting. Have you grown it before? Did you like it?

Yes!!!!!!! You certainly need to get and find room for two more plants and maybe two more after that. Gotta keep up the addiction.

With your cold temps, I don't know if I would try Celebrity again or not. It was developed more for us Southern folks because we have months on end of 100+ temps and the same for humidity. It maybe that your just a bit too chilly up there for it to do well.
