So far only 12 varieties (about 200 plants) for market sales. I haven't set any aside for myself.

Left to right.
Key Lime (not tomato), Yellow Pear tomato, Mallika mango (white pot), Ichiban eggplant (blue bucket), San Marzano tomato, Lemon Zest mango (black container), Moby Grape tomato, Grand Nain banana, Hansel eggplant (blue bucket).
I should start getting tomatoes off the San Marzano in a week or two, it's pretty loaded.
Got another bed in the yard with other tomatoes, but that's not spectacular looking at the moment. One of my dogs decided to dig up 6 of the 8 plants while they were out this morning before I left for work. But I suspected something was up when only one was ready to come in, so I went out and managed to find 5 and bring them inside before I left, rather than let them sit uprooted in the sun all day until I got home. Re-planted them this afternoon when I got home.

Mine are putting out their first real leaf, so maybe by their 4th leaf I will put them outside.

I used a heat mat and most came up in 4 days, too. I'm sure it would have taken longer without it.

I have fruit setting on the Snow White I planted a couple of weeks ago, and flowers on Lime Green Salad and Sungold.

I have my seeds sprouting in about 5 days with my new indoor greenhouse
I was using a 50w lite bulb for heat at 1st
But with temps 90 & 80 recently I no longer need it
Sunny days the sunroom goes up to 80, and that's where I setup the greenhouse
I started the 1st batch of seeds in Mid-Feb

I found those Brandywine tomatos everybody was posting about last year. =) I'm growing Brandywine, Beefmaster hybrid and large fruit Red Cherry tomatos. we have a house now and not a apartment so I can grow them all summer this time no more moving.
I'm growing peppers and okra and onions and garlics too.

We had late frosts this year, with frost on 4/5, 4/6, and 4/7. Most of my tomatoes went into the ground on 4/7 and I have 277 tomato plants in the ground now. I've got a separate thread for them since I wanted to keep a thread devoted just to my son's and my large project this year.

We recently turned cool again but the next several days should warm back up into the 80s.
