You could say that Fairweather friend If I grew every type of tomato that I have seeds of, my list would probably be twice that of Chris's I have whittled them down a bit though, to the few that suit us best, and a few new ones to try this year.

These are the varieties I got from Amishland Seeds:
Sabre Ukrainian Heirloom
Amazon Chocolate
Belarus Orange
Annies African KY Mystery
Howard German Red
They're all new to me except the Belarus Orange. Hoping to get another variety of plum-type on my permanent list, we love a good plum

Yep, I did
Apologies to everyone trying to restrain themselves, but this is where they came from: Amishland Heirloom Seed Home Yes, they're in the States, but I've bought seeds from this lady for a few years now and had no problems at all

I didn't have much luck with tomatoes last year. Not enough sun and trying to grow too many in the greenhouse. (One my fault one not!) I also decided I prefer cordon types as bush ones take up too much room. So I spent ages writing a list, Gardeners' Delight was definitely on it. Guess what! I now can't find my list. I may have to see what comes in the seed order!

Counted varieties here but thankfully not 25, only 20 or so!
I've just been working out how I'll grow em all as it is, but have hit on a cunning plan - decided to move the family into the garden for Summer and then the tomatoes can have the sunnier rooms! Anyone got any ideas to convince the hubby?

Hahnstown Yellow
Kibits Ukrainian
Japanese Black Trifele
White Wax
