Early Girl is one easily available here as plants, or seeds for that matter. I'll try that one. I grew it once several years ago. It was a bit earlier than my other tomatoes & I think I did like it pretty well. I'm remembering too though that the fruit got smaller with heat, but my father in law said I should have fertilized better. I may try Stupice too, I'm pretty sure that one is sold at the farmer's market, so should do well here in KY. Thank you for the list Rick, I'll got through & see what I can find seeds for. Some I can see might not do well here just because we seem to skip spring fairly often.Although I'm thinking I grew Bloody Butcher one year & it did well... Then I may run into a new problem....so many tomatoes I want to try. On the plus side, I just got some nice looking tomato cages on clearance for 25 cents ea. I hope they will hold Mortgage Lifter better than the flimsy ones I used this year. Next year I'll have to watch out for those big green worms! First year I've ever had them, guess I was just lucky. Wasn't watching for a few days because there weren't any tomatoes that would be ripe, & when I did, the vines were pretty well cleaned.
Thank you all for the help, I will go over these & have the fun of looking through seed catalogs in a couple months.
