Now that you can only grow one single variety?

@MissS Thanks, but that was my second post in another forum. Apparently, it's a joke. I really need to lighten up sometimes. I hope we all get a huge tomato harvest this year.

The Junction seems to be The Tomato Seed Capital of the world and we would NEVER allow people to grow just one variety of tomatoes. We have seeds flying about everywhere. Besides, the government would never do that, it would put many seed vendors out of business.

We have looked everywhere and there are no records of one of your posts being deleted. Every action on the boards is recorded. We can't find it anywhere. Either somehow it didn't get posted or the gremlins stole it.

You might find an HOA forbidding more than one variety.

I can totally see this being reality. Especially in an HOA, as Worth mentioned.

Thankfully, to my knowledge its not.

Easy for me. Carmello. Can take and set fruit in a decent amount of cold (for a tomato) making fall crops possible here and then set on up through pretty high heat, extending the spring season. Narrow and tall columnar growth habit, so not a space hog. Indeterminate. 70-75 days, so I don’t have to wait forever to pick fruit. Mid to mid large sized crimson tomatoes that don’t often split or crack and with a nice melting texture that are also sweet and tangy. Good on fighting diseases here plus nematode resistant. Good fresh sliced, on a burger and good frozen and thawed for sauce. Highly productive with 5,6,7 tomato clusters the norm. Resists all the catfacing and ugly fused blossoms.

Not that I’ve grown a ton of varieties, but based on the ones I have Carmello wins and there isn’t a close second.

Where did you buy your Carmello seeds? TIA

[mention]Barb_FL[/mention] Well, I’ve bought them in the past at Tomatofest. Supposedly, Gary there dehybridized them a couple of decades ago. But, now, I generally get the sets my feed store offers. I’m not a tomato seed saver as a rule, at least not yet.

"Yet" being the operative word. Oh, it'll get you sooner or later. Give it time.

Despite lots of favorites, my choice for a single variety would be Moneymaker or its German twin Hellfrucht. Indeterminates that would produce slicers and canners forever.
