I'd love to hear how Clear Pink does for you, @AKgardener. I am driving myself bonkers trying to narrow down my list. At the moment, I am pretty sure the varieties will be:

Ropreco
Reinhard's Chocolate Heart
Black Sea Man
Guido*
Dwarf Roza Vetrov
Scotia or Manitoba*
Gold Dust* or Zolotoe Serdste*
Cosmonaut Volkov* or Moskvich*

...and a pink determinate and a pink heart. I'm hoping to find some Rozovyi Myod and Katja seeds, but if I can't, I'll probably grow Hungarian Heart and Petrusha Ogorodnik or Rosabec*.

* = a new-to-me variety.

[AKgardener]

I’ve never grown anything on my list but Siberian and shatters.small ones did really well. Can’t kill it. The other was a wonky summer lots of rain by the time I got anything it was to late and not developed to harvest.curious how hungian heart will do I read a comment about someone in Alaska growing it and it well so worth a shot.

2023 was so bad if I didn't show some early enthusiasm I may not even try gardening for a while. So earliest ever list of tomatoes and peppers:

Reds: Box Car Willie, Fred Limbaugh's Potato Top, Neve's Azorean Red, Domingo.

Pinks: Big Ben #1, Cowlick's Brandywine, Brimmer, Butterbaugh, Dot's Delight,Giant Belgium, Soldaki.

Yellow/Bi-color: Jeanine's Heart, Orange Russian #117

Black: Carbon, Texkan Sweetheart, Maggie Mater.

Red Heart: Amizilettii's Giant Red Heart, Anzhela Gigante Urainskaya, Bobbie, Linnie's Oxheart.

Pink Heart: Anna Russian, Babushka Byka, Mom's Heart, Pappy Kerns Pink Heart.

Salad Size: Stupice, Vernissage Pink, Compari (grow out from store bought tomato)

Peppers: Giant Aconcagua, Chablis, Corno Di Toro Yellow,Fat-n-Sassy, Peppi Red, Peppi Yellow, Snick Snack.

I will try zucchini, some decorative gourds and Orange-glo watermelon without much hope for getting a crop, but I try anyway.

Some exciting options here! I'm still waiting to figure out my final list, as I'm going to wait and see what I get from the MMMM before doing some hard and painful math abut how many plants I can actually grow versus how many I want to grow.

[Moth1992]

I keep changing my mind. I can only plant 6 full sized toms. And last yeat i planted way too many micros im going to downsize to 2-3. Also waiting to see what I get from the swap.

[Moth1992]

Ok so i think ill be starting these ( or at least these categories) next week:

Early red - im thinking stupice
Early pink - pervaya lyobov
Cherry - black or chocolate

And three mid season ones, thinking of trying
EM champion,
some black one ( trifele or krim or other)
and tasmania chocolate ( i planted this one before in a pot and was delicious but unproductive so i want to try this time in the ground).

How does it do in cold weather do you know? Does it set fruit?

[Cornelius_Gotchberg]

Don't get much cold weather during 5 a-b Tomato Season; FWIW Mountain Magic has always been the last plants I pull...and always with a ton of greenies remaining.
