This suggests another question for you growers of heirloom tomatoes.
How many varieties do you grow in a given season?
Here I sit, both enjoying this task of picking varities to grow next
year and grinding my teeth because there are so many choices. I figure
that I need to narrow it down to somewhere areound five varities, and
grow two plants of each.
Picking five is hard. Picking ten would be easier, but I don't need
twenty tomato plants, especially since I'll plant a few of the
non-heirloom varities for comparison purposes.
Settling on the ones that I like and that grow well is a several-season
process. I figure I'll get it figured out just about the time I'm too
old to garden . . .
