I may need to whittle it down. This happens every year

I'd love to hear how Clear Pink does for you, @AKgardener. I am driving myself bonkers trying to narrow down my list. At the moment, I am pretty sure the varieties will be:

Ropreco
Reinhard's Chocolate Heart
Black Sea Man
Guido*
Dwarf Roza Vetrov
Scotia or Manitoba*
Gold Dust* or Zolotoe Serdste*
Cosmonaut Volkov* or Moskvich*

...and a pink determinate and a pink heart. I'm hoping to find some Rozovyi Myod and Katja seeds, but if I can't, I'll probably grow Hungarian Heart and Petrusha Ogorodnik or Rosabec*.

* = a new-to-me variety.

I’ve never grown anything on my list but Siberian and shatters.small ones did really well. Can’t kill it. The other was a wonky summer lots of rain by the time I got anything it was to late and not developed to harvest.curious how hungian heart will do I read a comment about someone in Alaska growing it and it well so worth a shot.

2023 was so bad if I didn't show some early enthusiasm I may not even try gardening for a while. So earliest ever list of tomatoes and peppers:

Reds: Box Car Willie, Fred Limbaugh's Potato Top, Neve's Azorean Red, Domingo.

Pinks: Big Ben #1, Cowlick's Brandywine, Brimmer, Butterbaugh, Dot's Delight,Giant Belgium, Soldaki.

Yellow/Bi-color: Jeanine's Heart, Orange Russian #117

Black: Carbon, Texkan Sweetheart, Maggie Mater.

Red Heart: Amizilettii's Giant Red Heart, Anzhela Gigante Urainskaya, Bobbie, Linnie's Oxheart.

Pink Heart: Anna Russian, Babushka Byka, Mom's Heart, Pappy Kerns Pink Heart.

Salad Size: Stupice, Vernissage Pink, Compari (grow out from store bought tomato)

Peppers: Giant Aconcagua, Chablis, Corno Di Toro Yellow,Fat-n-Sassy, Peppi Red, Peppi Yellow, Snick Snack.

I will try zucchini, some decorative gourds and Orange-glo watermelon without much hope for getting a crop, but I try anyway.

Some exciting options here! I'm still waiting to figure out my final list, as I'm going to wait and see what I get from the MMMM before doing some hard and painful math abut how many plants I can actually grow versus how many I want to grow.

Switching from legend to crimson sprinter,, read a lot of good reviews

I keep changing my mind. I can only plant 6 full sized toms. And last yeat i planted way too many micros im going to downsize to 2-3. Also waiting to see what I get from the swap.

Ok so i think ill be starting these ( or at least these categories) next week:

Early red - im thinking stupice
Early pink - pervaya lyobov
Cherry - black or chocolate

And three mid season ones, thinking of trying
EM champion,
some black one ( trifele or krim or other)
and tasmania chocolate ( i planted this one before in a pot and was delicious but unproductive so i want to try this time in the ground).

This is very preliminary. I am trying to do something other than tomatoes for a couple months. LOL

I was dead set on my list until I read about these other ones haha. I’m sticking with the Russian variety theme this point .. not sure if I want to still grow 8 varieties or add a few more …

Thus begins Musical Tomatoes...which of the varied and many Many MANY varieties are left standing as the chairs get removed.....?

How does it do in cold weather do you know? Does it set fruit?

Don't get much cold weather during 5 a-b Tomato Season; FWIW Mountain Magic has always been the last plants I pull...and always with a ton of greenies remaining.
