Sungold was my favorite last year and still producing the occasional fruit, but I will definitely start some new seeds of it this year.

Here's my picks for this year:

Principe Borghese- Great for sauce and drying.

Grappoli d'Inverno- Just cut the branch and hang them for fresh tomatoes all winter!

Sub arctic- Good flavor and super fast to produce.

Cherry Roma and yellow pearshaped cherry- for the kids!

Maybe a few Brandywine and Purple prince for variety...

Lots of basil and asian eggplants. I'm looking for a white long eggplant too.

Hey, Sunfish, you should try Principe Borghese from Fothergill's. I find them, though a lot smaller, better than San Marzano. You won't regret it. They're about a quarter to a third of a Roma in size but way better flavour than any other Roma type I've tried so far. And they dry fast too. Thick flesh, not many seeds. Quality and quantity all in one!

The ones I buy from Fothergill's look different. And the seed quality was awesome. If you can't get them in the US and want some, let me know.
