I've only got 'Million' and 'Tumbling Tom Red' this year but I've seen at least another dozen I'd like to try!
Hopefully I'll have the green house going by next year though so I could just accept it will be brimming with nothing but tomatoes (despite OH not even liking them!)

Didn't realise that it would end in a boasting contest!
I have 23 varieties this year. Mostly for the seed, early and ultra early types. Lots of cherries.
Decided that I will only grow 'specials' next year the 'run-of-the-mill' are so cheap here, about 35/40 pence a kilo.
I have Flum Gold fruiting! Can hardly wait for them to ripen!

I've grown Legend for the first time and can't get over the size of the monsters, practically one slice per sandwich!
Also tried Sungold this year and am bowled over by the sweetness. A small handful managed to escape unmolested from the greenhouse and were declared 'wow' by my tomato hating teenager! On the yummy scale they're going to be stiff competition for the yellow Millefleur I grow every year. I would highly recommend these to anybody who likes cherry tomatoes - small sweet cherry (but nowhere near grape size) and hundreds of them in sprays.
Also tried San marzano for the first time. I used Huge FW's recipe roasting them with salt, pepper, sugar and diced garlic on top before pulping through a sieve. Most of the sauce went into me rather the freezer.....

I have about 10 varieties this year. Currently ripe are Legend, Ferline, Moneymaker, Sungold and Mexico Midget.
Will not grow Legend again as the crop is poor even though the flavour is good. Will also not grow Moneymaker as it tastes bland in comparison to some of the other varieties.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.
