Ahoy Bear! Good to see you here. I look forward to hearing all about that ahem paltry 2020 collection of varieties... no chance of squeezing a few extras in?

BlackBear, welcome! From your list I'm growing Rose Quartz Multiflora & Sophie's Choice. I remember you extolling the virtues of EM Champion, and we had a thread here where other people said similar things. I'm going to have to grow it sometime, based on all the glowing reports.

Yup...I guess if one had the above 3 OP varieties and a few hybrids like Juliet and Big Beef and Sungold

There would be no shortage of Tomatoes ….

Maybe a perennial shortage of processing time and storage space after the Overproduction begins again !

[Nan6b]

Oh, I'm growing a lot more varieties, so there's the perennial lack of space under grow lights, and space in the garden, as well as the abovementioned!

[hdrider]

Welcome to the Junction, I can only dream about 40 different varieties at the same time.
