| As you can probably see I am focusing on larger tomatoes with an aim to cut down to maybe 20 varieties in future that produce well here.

| Are they all 'oldies' for you, or are there new ones on your list? I haven't even thought about next season's list. I'm still too busy with this season.
But good idea to start early, so we can see what everybody is planning for next season. |

Richards Polish I grew this year and were very good. Mortgage Lifter estlers and Eckerts Polish are different strains of ones grown before. The others are all new to me but seem interesting from all the readings of forums etc. I am looking forward to next season already and have cleaned up the patch of all rubbish and old pea straw mulch that has been on the bed for two years (takes an age to break down). Have added crushed rock fertiliser that I got from a guy selling organic stuff at our garden festival back in spring. Will get a trailer load of aged cow poop this weekend and add it as well. Then just keep it damp and let it sit till spring. This is the first time the bed has been disturbed for two years but it needs it I think. Richard |

| Nice and eclectic list as usual Oz.. I'm aiming for the black and white ones this year. my friends are just getting their Orlov's yellow ripening. I sent them seed which was planted in the final possie in the second week of November. Going like the clappers, and they wax lyrical about the taste. God's Tomato apparently. |

| Thanks Adam, I have a few blacks in the list. Am interested in talk on the northen forum from Carolyn and others, who seem to think that a lot of blacks are the same and have probably been renamed by dubious folk. The two I grew last season being Cherokee Purple and Black Krim were different in taste and growth habit, but will be keen to see what the other blacks come up with. Cheers

| Richard, CP doesn't fall into the "black" category in terms of the confusion. It is what it is. Cherokee Chocolate, its sister, being the result of a spontaneous mutation of a CP colour gene. But there's certainly a lot of confusion about the "blacks". Black Krim and Noir de Crimee (French for Black Krim) have been called the same tomato by some people, different tomatoes by others. |
