    OMG there are just soooo many.:eek: I find it hard enough to choose which ones to sow without having over 2,000 to pick from. :rolleyes: A great website for information on tomatoes and one I'll been keeping in my favourites. :-D

    I like to eat tomatoes, but I'm really no good at growing them. Your link might help a lot there, thanks.

    I bookmarked this page, also. I have several of the varieties from the seeds our son sent us. I have Caspian Pink, Isis Candy, Green Zebra, Black from Tula, Black Plum, Ivory Egg, White Queen, Mr. Stripey, red stripy,and Pink Cherry. No ordinary red ones. Thanks for the list. I think these all came from Bakers? He also sent us melons from there. dooley

    Brandywine

    For a really easy to grow and productive heirloom variety tomato, I would go with Brandywine. I've been growing these for years, without much fuss, and they produce like crazy. :)

    I planted some heirloom seeds, but alas, they didn't germinate. So I've sent for Black Prince. Wish me luck. That's a good site.
