Just the idea of this question makes me laugh! I'm trialing about 80 varieties this year, so hopefully I can get some to ripen, and, if it's not too much to ask, taste good, too.
Last year, Oregon Spring was a spitter for me, and I couldn't get Bloody Butcher or Chocolate Cherry or another variety I can't remember because I never got to taste it, to ripen a single fruit last year. The late blight hit the week my first Roma ripened. Thank goodness I cut lots of branches of the SunSugar and brought them inside to ripen over the fall before it ruined them. They were all I really got that I enjoyed last year. So, I'm most looking forward to the first non-spitter to ripen!

I'm looking forward to ALL of them b/c there's not a one that I've grown before, and that's going along with my choice to grow varieties that will be new to all or most.

Oops, there is one that I've grown before and that's Jet Star F1, which has always been reliable for me and usually performs well in an adverse season.

There are a few I won't see b'c of germination problems and no plant for me b'c I told Shoe to keep his plants of small and large heart, not yet named, and I won't see Curley Kaley nor Brilliant Pink either, for the same reason.

Looking at my list right now I can't pick out which ones I'm most looking forward to b'c for many of them all I have is a variety name, some I know what country they came from and that's about all.

So almost all of them will be surprises and actually I love that.

I am so looking forward to any and all great tasting yummy tomatoes but I am curious to see what will come from each new to me.
For cherries, will I prefer either Sweet Beverley or Warren's Yellow over Annie Sunshine??
For the short and early will Moravsky Div take the prize??
For hearts, Serotse Buivola or Zolotoe Serdce??
For Pinks, Stump of the World, Sandul Moldovan, Church, Richardson, Todd County Amish, which will weigh in big??
For Reds, Jean's Prize or Van Wert Ohio??
For Yellows, Maylor Roth's Orange, or Dr. Wyche's Yellow??
For Blacks, Amazon Chocolate or the Black Elephant and Black Sea Elephant (PL)??
Will I find any clues to what happened to Lescana Heart in 2009 or 2010 to give a PL Bicolor small strawberry, so growing several plants from '09 and '10 to look for differences as well as the originial source??
So yea, just can't wait for what's to come!! And I will look forward to hearing what each of you had great success with.
