Re: List of all tomato variety names
If the list includes hybrids then what about the hundreds if not thousands from other countries, varieties current & discontinued? This list is endless & will never be final.

Re: List of all tomato variety names
Compared to OPs, hybrids are a very small portion of all tomatoes.
The real problem is that the few people compiling lists cannot keep up with the likely hundreds (thousands?) of new varieties introduced every year. And, many of the new introductions are not widely published, if published at all.
I sort of did that with Bacon Lettuce and This (BLT). I partially gave it that name just to see what people would find when they first heard about it, in doing an internet search for it. Early on, almost all searches brought people to posts about a sandwich.

@Tormato
You just want people to eat BLTs, don't you?
I tried searching for the tomato, and I got nothing but BLTs on all the search engines until I tried an exact phrase match on a certain one in particular (then the top result was a TV post about Bacon Lettuce and This). Another strangely gave me no results at all when I tried ane exact phrase match. The other search engines just ignored the exact phrase match and gave me BLT results, such as recipes.

That The Gotch will confirm; he plunged into the abyss in order to secure the BLT's background only to have his dutifully well-intended efforts mercilessly mocked by its developer.
The emotional scars persist...

Don't go searching for Bacon Lettuce and That, or Bacon Lettuce and the Other Thing, as they do not yet exist.Cornelius_Gotchberg wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2024 8:15 amThat The Gotch will confirm; he plunged into the abyss in order to secure the BLT's background only to have his dutifully well-intended efforts mercilessly mocked by its developer.

Re: List of all tomato variety names
Consider yourself lucky. I have no selections in the pipeline that are consistently cat-faced. If I did, you might be searching for Gotchberg's Scar. But then again, upon hearing that name, you likely would know who to go to for background info.Cornelius_Gotchberg wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2024 8:15 amThat The Gotch will confirm; he plunged into the abyss in order to secure the BLT's background only to have his dutifully well-intended efforts mercilessly mocked by its developer.

Surely you's recall our exchange regarding my Wild Goose Chase seeking out the ever-elusive the BLT. Been There/Done That...seriously...and don't call me Shirley...

And I may tease a bit, but I'm not cruel. I would never name a tomato Alonzo's Homer....(I think).

I was at that game. If the Sox had won, with Massachusetts licence plates, we might not have made it out of the stadium parking lot.Cornelius_Gotchberg wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2024 11:15 amSeems Bill Buckner's Boo Boo is available......

Speaking of the Sox, I still don't see a Green Monster tomato variety. I rarely trial greens, so there is likely little chance of my getting a natural cross to name.
