Cultivars 2010
*looks at list* Um... the good news is that I have a layout drawn up? It's scanned in even!
(Note for the scanned image: the melons, watermelons, and pumpkins will have their own ridge - one long hill - just along/past the left edge. There will be 10 plants in each of the 4 tomato rows for a total of - *multiplies* - 40 plants. Can we say spaghetti sauce? The top edge is south and towards the road while the bottom is north and next to the sheds. Click here for a photo for reference.)
The 2009 Cultivars List
List of Cultivars for 2010
# - Cooks Garden
^ - Johnny's Selected Seeds
+ - Jung's Seeds
~ - Seeds of Change
* - Seed Savers Exchange
** - Territorial Seeds
++ - Totally Tomatoes
The 2010 Seed Savers Yearbook from Seed Savers Exchange - which you get for becoming a member as I did a few weeks ago - has 190 pages of tomatoes. Mwahahaha.
Yes, it took me forever to put this post together.

The 2009 Cultivars List
List of Cultivars for 2010
- Beans, Dry
- Kenearly Yellow Eye * - The beginning of the dry bean obsession, I just know it.
- Ireland Creek Annie *
- Beans, Snap
- Beets
- Golden ^ - I decide to try a new vegetable so do I go to the store and buy them like a normal person? Or maybe shop the farmer's markets? Nooooo, I grow them.
- Carrots
- Bolero ^ - There will be at least a couple waves of carrots, and maybe some that will be planted in the fall for over wintering. This is one of the winter candidates.
- Hercules ^ - The other winter candidate.
- Mokum **
- Sweetness III +
- Corn
- Mandan Red (Field/Grinding Corn) ~
- Supai Red (Parching Corn) ~
- True Gold (Sweet Corn) ~
- Cucumbers
- Diva + - The same AAS winner I grew last year, but it's a hybrid so I can't save the seeds. I may try an open pollinated variety in 2011.
- Herbs
- Basil
- Cilantro
- Santo +
- Mint
- The various types of mint don't grow true from seed (without complete isolation and controlled pollination) so I'll purchase two plants.
- Oregano
- Greek +
- Sage
- Thyme
- Plants from D's work sale probably.
- Leeks
- Lettuces
- Jericho ^
- Valmaine **
- Victoria **
- Winter Density ^
- Melons
- Ambrosia **
- Charantais *
- Ha'ogen *
- Onions
- Pacific Pearl ** - I'll put a few of these bunching onions in, but not many.
- Talon ** - Excellent keepers; I'm still cooking with last year's crop.
- Peas
- Maxigolt ^
- Peppers
- Ancho Magnifico **
- California Wonder 300 **
- Dancing Spirits #
- Mulato Isleno **
- Peguis **
- Potatoes
- Carola * - Growing potatoes will be an experiment.
- Yellow Finn *
- Pumpkins
- Fairytale **
- Radishes
- Rutabaga
- Helenor ^ - See beets, above.
- Tomatoes
- Black Krim * - Nom nom nom! A couple of plants I picked up of these last year got me hooked on 'black' tomatoes.
- Black Plum ++ - A paste tomato that did well for me last year.
- Gill's All-Purpose ** - Just a couple of these as I'm concentrating on non-hybrids for seed saving, but it's a good cultivar.
- Nyagous * - Smaller black tomato than Black Krim.
- Opalka * - Paste tomato that was a last minute addition.
- Oregon Star ** - Somewhere between a paste tomato and a standard type; I think the catalog lists it as an 'heirloom', which is a phrase I find a little too open to interpretation to be particularly descriptive.
- Persimmon Orange ++ - A 'low-acid' tomato, so that I'm growing at least one.
- Purple Russian * - A paste type that's new to me this year.
- Red Zebra * - I've been flirting with these in the catalogs since last year.
- Speckled Roman * - Another paste type with a similar look to Red Zebra.
- Super Marzano ++ - These failed so spectacularly last year that I have to try again just for the heck of it. They were buried in the middle of the tomato jungle, so this year I'm growing one and it's getting a sunny edge spot.
- Sweet Million + - Just one, for the same reason as the Gill's All-Purpose.
- Tommy Toe * - One of the new cherry tomatoes I'm trying!
- Velvet Red * - The other new cherry tomato I'm trying!
- Watermelon
- Sunflowers
