Hi, I'm new here. Was a member of tomatoville but hadn't been there in a while. I guess it's gone now?

Anyways, hi all, I'm trying about 60 varieties of tomato seeds i have collected over the years to see which I like best in our soil.
So far they have all sprouted, which surprised me!

Every tomato i have grown here has been delicious so it's going to be hard to pare the varieties down to something more manageable.

Hello and welcome to the Junction @bbbuddy. It sounds like you have the same problem that many of us do around here.

Welcome to the Junction from Down Under @bbbuddy . What is going on with TV is a mystery to us all and a great loss of information, particularly the DTP information

Nice “problem” to have, all tomatoes grown are delicious.

Good luck on the new season.

Thank you all!

I'm 77 so I really need to grow only the most exceptional types, which is why I'm trialing so many. Wish me luck!

I hope you all have a yummy summer.
