SoCalGardenNut said:I just planted the following 8 heirloom tomatoes:
Abe Lincoln
Box Car Willie
Big Rainbow
Mortgage Lifter,
Carbon
Black from Tula
Black Brandywine
Aunt Ruby's German Green

Of these 8, only Black Brandywine, Mortgage Lifter, Carbon, Big Rainbow, Aunt Ruby's German Green have sprouted. I'm still waiting for Abe Lincoln, Box Car Willie, and Black from Tula.

I will be growing this year......

Prudens Purple
Kelloggs Breakfast
Amana Orange
Winsall
Cherokee Purple
Black Krim
Gold Medal

I will list my tomatoes in a few days. Most are Heirloom. I will get an Amana Gold if I see one. Loved it year before last.

IS Prudens Pink the same as Prudens Purple ?
POtatoe leaf and Pink fruit ?

I haven't grown it before to compare. It does have Potato leaves. The nurseries around here have a bigger selection each year. Hard to choose.

Lets see. What heirlooms are I growing this year along with my Hybrids? So--

Ivory Egg
Juanne Flamme
Black Plum
Rose De Bern
Golden Queen USDA Strain

They are all planted. I am also growing some modern open pollinated types along with the heirlooms and hybrids. So a nice mixed batch of tomato types.

Let us know when the picking season is on what meets your fancy...

My mistake......should be Pruden's Purple not Pink. I will correct it.

Everything sprouted except Abe Lincoln. I will start a new tomato bed soon. Abe Lincoln will be in the new bed.

I was reading your post and you had so many of the same tomatoes that I got confused and thought I was reading my own post, but knew the profile picture/name wasn't right @SoCalGardenNut

My total now is: Aunt Ruby German Green, Big Rainbow, True Black Brandywine, Carbon, Great White, Wagner Blue Green, "Brandywine Red" (supposedly).

Great minds think alike. Lol

When the rain stops (briefly probably! ), Monday I will get to Plant OUTSIDE my seedlings:

Mountain Princess


Ballada


Adonis


Quebec 309


Kecskemeti Jubileum


Red Beefsteak


The only other tomato I will plant is not an heirloom.

BetNC, all of them look good.

You must have a very green thumb.

What used to take an afternoon to get 35 tomato plants in the dirt and caged, just took all day and I am beat just doing 20 plants. Old age is coming at a bad time, but they are in.

You are not the only one.

I know what you mean. I never get as much done as I would like too. Cut back on the tomato plants this spring to only 70. Half of what I had a few years ago.

Still it does get done. Just takes longer.

I'm getting old also. I have 25 tomatoes and fertilized half yesterday and then my Daughter came and I had her finish for me,

Do you have a farm? That seems like a lot.

Maybe they just really like tomatoes

If I had exactly the room to grow 25 tomatoes I would grow 25 tomatoes and nothing else.
