I actually have 20 different kinds. Almost entirely heirloom or artisan.
Some paste tomatoes, especially Amish Paste. I like the darker colored ones like Black Krim and Black Russian, as well as Cherokee purple. A few beefsteaks, I’m trying an indigo apple for the first time this year. I have a few striped hollows, great for stuffing!
And last I did a few of the bumble bee and tiger tomatoes. Small, fancy tomatoes, not great producers, but they taste just too good. Pink Berkeley tie dye - hippy name, but those were so good. And a few yellow pear and cherry tomatoes.
I just love growing tomatoes. At least 1/4 of my total growing space is tomatoes. Wish I had a few acres, not just my back yard.
I also have 2 types of tomatillas and ground cherries started as well as six kinds of eggplant.
I don’t have many of any one type of anything, just a large variety with a few plants of each. And I do love to try new and odd things.
Sounds great. I like to try out new stuff too. This year I am trying out Amish Paste, Chadwicks Cherry, and Whippersnapper tomato for the first time. Will also plant several of the tried and true also.
Hubby will plant a couple of varieties in large quantity like Romas and Mortgage Lifter for the last several years.
