I'm trying to keep it simple:

Pruden's Purple
Cherokee Purple
Polish
Burpee's Buck's County Hybrid
Rutgers

Thus far: (Those with * after the name are from seed I saved.)

It is not all that unusual for someone to give me a few plants, or trade some with me, or for me to find some that I can't live without at a nursery, feed store or box store.

That's all for the moment... unless I get some more seeds.

I just have to say that I am so jealous of those of you with long lists!

THE PLOT THICKENS !!!
After confirming that a certain seed company (who shall still remain nameless) had accidently cancelled my order, lo and behold, the seeds arrive in the mail! A couple of weeks behind schedule, but I still planted them.
Therefore my list is back to my original posting plus one freebie:

>Raad Red

Maybe next year I'll order my seeds in january.

That's it for now,
John

To vaccinium-hound: I am indeed selling seedlings this year (not seeds). My website is just down due to me stupidly deleting it. I'll get it up again soon.

Oh, cool.

Too many, as usual. :)

Hi. I see you have Chapman on your list. I ordered mine from TGS. They were back ordered and I got them a few weeks later than the rest. I am curious if you are having germination problems with them? I have had zero germinate out of about 15 seeds after 14 days. Doesn't look good. I want to add that this is unusual because TGS usually sells good seed. How were they for you?

Hey, bigdaddyj. My Chapman seed came late, too, and I planted them 5 days ago. Too early to say whether they'll germinate, but I'm unhappy to hear there may be problems. I've always had great results with TGS and consider them a top quality seed source, unlike some other "big tomato name" suppliers I've tried. I'll repost in a week or so about germination of Chapman, whether they show up or not.

Oh, on your "Boy" list you forgot 'Boi Boy', a favorite with the hip-hop crowd. :-)

Great, I appreciate the feedback. I also started the remaining seeds about 5 days ago like you. So we can compare. I have no idea why my first batch never took. I had good germination on all other varieties and Chapman was in there with the rest.

'Boi Boy' is on next year's list. LOL

I'm lucky, my local nursery gets in about 10-20 varieties, I'll plant whatever catches my eye. Didn't have a good tomato year last year, the only one that produced was Sungold & boy, was it productive! I'll definitely have 1 or more Sungolds this year-I plan on splitting my plants between earthboxes & in the ground...

This is what I have for this year but I will likely add a few more

I have my eyes on some others in the Seed Savers Book

:,)

Started mine this morning, mostly stuff that did well for me in the past. Was not impressed with many of the heirlooms I tried last year, but did manage to keep some.

Brandy Boy-
My favorite all around tomato so far. Good vigor, great tasting tomatoes. This one is hard to beat.

Brandywine(Burpee)-
Whatever strain this is, it does well. The variety appears to be true to the name. I actually get some nice fruit from it, great taste.

Brandywine Sudduth's-
Couldn't get these seeds to germinate last year, but then again,I didn't try very hard either. Threw them in some nasty, sawdust like peat pellets long after the other seeds had already been started. They never woke up. Will try in earnest this year, want to compare side by side to the Burpee.

Mortgage Lifter- Another favorite. VERY large tomatoes with excellent taste.

Better Boy-
Was very disappointed with them last year. Move over Better Boy, there's a new kid in town, and his name is Brandy Boy! Started a few just as an insurance policy, I'll have a few to give away if nothing else.

Early Girl-
She's got vigor, decent size, prolific, early(duh!), and tastes pretty good(for an early that is).

Rutgers-
Started these for my mother-in-law. Not a favorite of mine, but it's a tomato. Not much to say here.

Big Beef- It's a beefsteak. Not much production last year which surprised me for a Hybrid. giving it a second chance to see if it was a fluke. Got better production from Mortgage Lifter and Brandywine, believe it or not!

Delicious-
New for me this year. We'll see how it goes.

Maryland Large Red-
New this year. These were a complimentary pack of seeds that were with my Sandhill order last year. Figured I'd give them a shot and see how well they fair in the State they were named after.

Lots of responses, but I'll add mine anyway...

6 Red Brandywine
2 Cherokee Purple
2 Caspian Pink
2 Prudens Purple
2 Big Beef
1 Sweet Million Cherry

This may be the last year I try Prudens Purple, though. It seems a bit bland and it is hard to tell when to pick it. I think I will try to pick them before they seem "ripe" this year. I'll blame myself for past years and give it one last chance.

Okay, here is my list:

Ananas Noir
Anna Russian
Aunt Gertie's Gold
Azoychka
Banana Legs*
Black Cherry*
Black from Tula
Black Pear
Black Sea Man
Blondkopfchen
Cherokee Purple
Coustralee
DePinto
Dr. Carolyn

Eva Purple Ball
First Pick
Garden Peach
German Johnson
German Red Strawberry
Hillibilly

Persimmon**
Polar Beauty
Powell's Early Large Red**
Red Pear
Silvery Fir Tree
Stupice
Yellow German
Yellow Pear

*These I am growing again becuase I loved them so much last year
**These I am saving seeds because they were my two favorites and I don't have many seeds left. The Persimmon seeds came from William Woys Weaver via SSE, they are seeds from 2001 but they are the first to germinate every year and the tomatoes are awesome. The Powell's Early Large Red seeds came from Tomato Bob as a freebie for ordering so many seeds and I would love to get my hands on some more. This tomato actually tasted like a BLT, no kidding, I asked several people to try it and they all said it tasted like bacon. I am hoping this flavor stays true this year so I can "make" my own seeds.

Anyway, I got all my little seed babies in baggies right now and they are happily germinating away. Can't wait to fire up the greenhouse!!!

Paula

Thanks, foose4string, for providing one of more useful responses since reasons were given, not just a list.

Anyone have recommendations for a cherry type? Last year we grew sweet million (good, but not a lot of numbers) and yellow pear (OK, but sometimes bland and crack-prone).

Anyone have recommendations for a Brandywine replacement? They grew great for us last year and for the most part tasted good, but many of them had sections that rotted and bordering areas tasted like plastic.

I live in S. Florida and grow tomatoes Sept thru June.
I've just finished the first round and started on the second season so I'm either ahead of northern gardens or way behind.

Sept thru February grow list-in order of preference

Brandywine
Many large and delicious tomatoes

Floradade
hybrid-determinate-very good early and heavy output

Sungold
hybrid-great cherry

Black Pear
outstanding taste-would rate higher except low yield

Principe Borghese
nice for pot growing-great taste and productive

Sweet 100 (may have been Sweet Million I forget)
incredible output

Persimmon
super taste and texture-somewhat low yield and slow ripening (Florida winter)

Peacevine
I like Sweet 100 more

Solar Set
nice production but Floradade was better

Florida 91
Floradade was better

Nyagous
okay but Black Pear far better

Crnkovic
BIG tomatoes but I like them firmer/denser

Stupice
nothing special

Purple Russian
pretty tomato but flavor was nothing special

Micro Tom
a stupid idea I had to try

Yellow Pear cherry
pretty but I won't grow again-there are better yellows

Sasha's Altai
low production-I may try again later

Egyptian
an ebay purchase-nothing special

Nepal
low production-maybe bad location-I'll try again

Costaluto Genovese
I don't think it likes cool weather-try warmer season

I will be buying my plants from Laurel's Heirlooms, provided that she still has everything I want when I buy. I've yet to save or start seeds and this is not a good year for me to start with everything else going on. Hopefully will be able to bag some flowers on the OP's this year and start that fun stuff. Will probably even save from unbagged flowers to "see what happens".

I just couldn't leave well enough alone! Added a few more to the list today. Had the seed already and figured they deserved a second shot, too many good things said not to. And hey, I have the room.

Cherokee Purple
Kelloggs Breakfast

Big time BER for those two last year, didn't get a single tomato from either one.

Livingston Favorite-
new this year, another freebie from last year's Sandhill order

Jet Star-
Checked the seed display while I was at Lowes today, like I need more seeds???? Supposedly a good early tomato

Here's what I'm about to start today for me and family:

Aunt Gertie's Gold
Earl's Faux
Early Girl VFF
Eva Purple Ball
Marianna's Peace
Opalka
San Marzano
Snow White Cherry

Ironically, I've never started Early Girl from seed before - the years that I grew it in the past. I always bought the plants, so this will be different. LOL It was a tough choice not to grow Cherokee Purple or Big Beef this year but I wanted to try a couple new 'maters and peppers.

>>Matina Great tasting early tomato but I always have germination problems with it.

You might try getting seed from Territorial Seed Company. Extras I had from last year gave me 100% germination this year, which is better performance than seeds from another source I bought from. I wasn't counting on that so I ordered a few mailorder as insurance. Now I probably have plenty.

Amazing to see other people's extensive lists. I'll have to squeeze my own in as it is. As for those of you with short lists...my mother still brags about her couple potted plants on her apartment patio...tended so carefully...so don't feel bad. Since the last time this thread came up, I've added to my list which is currently...

Gardner's Delight (welcome back)
White Queen (new)
Aunt Ruby's German Green (welcome back)
Eva Purple Ball (new)
Earl of Edgecomb (new)
Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red (new)
Sunset's Red Horizon (new)
Matina (trying again...6 from old seed, 4 bought plants)
Ananas Noire (new, bought plant)
Pineapple (welcome back, bought plants)
John Allen (new, a "German Striped" type, but with a smaller fruit that I am hoping will ripen better in my cool climate)

I'm going to try to carefully save seed from types I like, because some of them gave me poor germination, and at least John Allen is too obscure to rely on being able to buy seed in the future.

I'm also going to try to talk my friends and relations into taking a few extra plants. None of them grow heirloom or open-pollinated tomatoes and I suspect they will be in for a pleasant surprise as regards flavor.

first garden at my new house. starting off with just some basic variety transplants from the local store.

Plus a bunch of unknowns from the market & friends and a couple of strains that I am trying to develop through selective breeding.

Seems like just about everyone here is growing Kellogg's Breakfast. What's the appeal (as I have never grown this one)? It does not seem that too many people are growing any of the "oxheart" varieties--why not? My main crop tomato is one called Miracle Sweet. I find it consistent from year to year, producing 5-7oz fruit that never split.

Green Zebra
Jaune FLammee
Pink Brandywine
Mr. Stripey
Black Prince

These are all from seeds I saved last year. All have germinated *yay!* Has anyone ever tried Blue Fruit?

Gardengirlie -- My Black Pear seeds came from Sustainable Mountian Agriculture (Bill Best). The website is www.heirlooms.org. Here is what he says about the Black Pear which is why I wanted to try it:

Black Pear: One of the best of the black tomatoes; pear shaped with a complex flavor; six to eight ounces.

He doesn't have online ordering, you have to send in your order/money but I order from there every year and it is well worth it. Good Luck!

Planted today here in zone 5b, southern New Hampshire.

I have raised beds and the next 10 days are forecast warm weather & fair so taking a slight risk. The traditional planting day here is Memorial Day weekend.

Brandywine
Belgian Giant
Yellow Brandywine
Beefmaster

that's it. No cherry tomatoes at all this year and no early varieties. I have had enough of them. I expect that grape tomatoes will spring up near the compost heap all by themselves.

We are down to 30 tomato plants this year so I limited it to large or giant varieties. This is half of what I had last year. The rest of the garden is dedicated to other vegetables including a lot of Asian vegetables. I actually prefer Lemon Boy to the yellow Brandywine but I could not find them this year. Last year I grew Celebrity they were nice shaped fruit, tasted nice and good yield -- but I want something better tasting and more variety. I wanted at least 1 VFN hybrid (Beefmaster) as insurance.

The compost that I have been curing for 2 years and carefully sifted is unbelievable I put about 3" of it on the garden last month and every scoop I dig brings up an earthworm.

Wow! You guys are maniacs! Clearly some of you have a lot of space - no 30 tomato plants in my suburban backyard. I'm abandoning Yellow Pear this year - my plant got way over 6 feet tall and was crazy productive - couldn't give them all away. What do you all do with so many plants? Are you all canning? Cool.
Well, I've got 15 plants started from seed, and will have to give some away- don't have room.
Just 4 varieties, most new for me:
Marianna's Peace (it was free!)
Paul Robeson (love opera, couldn't pass up the name)
Golden Girl
Brandywine Red, Landis (haven't had great production from brandys in the past, am hoping this is better)

Forgot to start Green Zebra, but my oldest son (8) who loved it last year said he doesn't like them anymore.

I second the earlier posted question: What's with the Kelloggs Breakfast? What kind is it, beefsteak?

Amelie

Kellogg's Breakfast is a beefsteak type but they are orange fruit. They do good in southern climates not so great in the north despite the name. In the north it is better to grow Brandywine like you are doing. I am growing the original pink Brandywine (potato leaf) and the yellow Brandywine this year.

This is my first year starting seeds myself. I have space for 30 - 40 plants. More if I dig up more of the lawn. ;)

I started 9 types:

Black Krim
Czech's Excellent Yellow
Brandywine
Green Zebra
Red Zebra
Opalka
Stupice
Italian Heirloom
Gold Medal

I also plan on picking up a few Cherokee Purple, Sweet 100 and Sungold plants from local sources.

Mike

I have 2200 square feet of garden. Last year it was 60 tomato plants pleanted: this year I cut it back to 30. Too many other vegetables besides tomatoes that need the space.

I have-
in the Earthboxes-Cherokee Purple, Black Krim, Anna Russian, Orange Oxheart, Old German, & German Johnson

in the ground-Ildi, Yellow Pear, Grape, Brandywine, Yellow Boy, Big Beef, & Mortgage Lifter

I have a couple more spots & I'm considering-Jetstar, Pink Brandywine, Sweet Chelsea, Celebrity, Solar Fire, & Mr. Stripey-any thoughts or recommendations on these? Also, I'm still searching for Sungold...

Is Christmas grape like Santa grape?

What's a Red zebra? What's black and white and red all over? A sunburned zebra (nobody reads newspapers anymore, at least not all over..do they?)

Creole's - They are Jammin!
Sweet Cluster - Tried and true
Better Boy, Pineapple, Marianna's Peace , and Big Boy
