I'm going to grow 2 of each but plant only one of each in the garden, just have the extras for back up against bad weather and critters, and if I don't need the extras I'll sell em at a plant sale
normally I grow OP kinds, but some of these were freebies for ordering from catalogues, so I don't want to waste the seeds.
What will you be growing?

I'll probably have Supersonics and some sort of beefsteak type for eating and some Romas and Amish Paste for putting up. I got some seed for Goliath from Totally Tomatoes one year and they were pretty good, too. BIG suckers and very disease-resistant.

Principe bourghese make THE best sun dried(or dehydrator) tomatoes.  I've got my little Wild tomato seeds and I'll probably plant Roma types as well as something like Mortgage Lifter. Last year the bugs really got greedy so I'm hoping to stay ahead of them this year. |

Yeah...I've learned that I have to have a spare waiting in the wings early on as our springs can be disasterous here between large hail and destructive winds, and the occasional late snow. Don't really have any bug issues at all with them, just the weather lol.

After 3 years of trying different types (Beefsteak, Brandywine, some yellow ones, etc.), I'm going back to my old standards: Homestead and Roma. They just seem to do better here. I did find one that I'm ordering seeds for to try out, though. It's called Millet's Dakota, and it was developed in North Dakota back in the 30s or 40s or somewhere in there. It's supposed to give a very heavy crop of largish slicing-type tomatoes, so I'm going to give that one a try just to see. But my staples will be the Homesteads and Romas. The other ones grew OK here, but they just weren't as thrifty, and didn't give me nearly as many tomatoes, so I didn't really end up with enough to put up for winter. I think I only managed 8 or 9 pints last summer. Pretty pitiful... But THIS summer, it will be different! ~Lannie |

I've ordered snowballs (I found them!!), Kentucky beefsteak and Hillbilly. I haven't grown any of these before and I'm really looking forward to the snowballs especially. I'll probably buy a mess of Romas locally; that worked really well for me last year (except for the two suprise cherries that were labelled incorrectly  ) /Via |
