Love your list TT!
I'm adding pink Berkeley TD
I still have all of last years Tom's in the freezer - only me here that eats them now that the boys are in Uni. Tried to get them to take some but they don't have the freezer space.
Shame I can't grow cake ingredients- I seem to post a lot of those off!

TMTT you're going to be in great demand in next year's seed swap if you save any of those. I can't even pronounce half of them. Impressive list

Have you grown the outdoor ones before? Just curious as I don't really have the space for indoor varieties so would like to try some tried & tested ones outside at the plot?
Recommendations from all welcome

Impressive listHopefully the seed saving goes better than last year then I'd love to distribute these varieties, some of them are quite hard to find.

Maskotka did really well last year: it's a compact, trailing variety and you get a really high yield for such a small plant. Cherry Falls and Koralik are similar in growth habit but this will be my first time growing them. My preference for growing outdoors is early determinate varieties. Clear Pink Early and Sibirsky Skorospelyi did pretty well but got blight because I planted them too close together. EM-Champion, new to me, is a variety with larger fruit and is highly recommended by growers with short seasons, I had to order the seed from Russia. Others I've had good success with before are Latah and Urbikany.

For medium fruit vine tomatoes I would recommend Stupice or Matina. Many cherries do quite well outdoors since they are earlier to ripen than most larger fruiting varieties. The main reason I don't grow many vines outdoors is because they get absolutely battered by summer storms here. Still, I am stubborn and this year will have to find a way to support the 3 vining varieties better There are also some blight resistant hybrids like Crimson Crush and Mountain Magic but I've not tried any of them.

I think I will review my half used packets with a view to "bunging them in" and see what happens
Will also review your recommendations for next year

If you have patience Broadway, I have bush Current ones that went wild here last summer, huge wide plants, but really teeny 'current' fruits.. I ended up getting fed up of picking from them as took so long for miniscule tomatoes, so not on my grow list this year, but still have seed if you wanted to try.
They didn't suffer any blight either x
