I try every year to germinate Mountain Princess & Oregon Spring but I'm on the verge of giving up with them...........there'll be another try this year, of course!

A little Reminder that you can find more information, and photos, of many tomato varieties by searching G&G or looking at the Tomato Gallery https://gardenandgossip.org/showthread.php?tid=382

So is that your full list done? Or are you blocking the last few letters of the alphabet together ?
Only ask, because you know I’m keeping count, don’t you  . Of course I’m assuming you only have one packet of each variety. A ridiculous notion, I know

Green tomatoes change their appearance. They go from an opaque, milky look to translucent when ripe. I wait for that visual change then give them a gentle squeeze.
I really like them, they're more zesty than tangy. Very fresh and they make for a lovely mozzarella salad.

241 so far . Much respect to the chief of seed hoarding. I realise now I have much more training to do, before I’m even close to your standard  . That assuming one one packet of each

I'm looking for an apprentice - would you like the job? ............and your assumption is wrong - very wrong! However, they all fit into one plastic box so don't need a lot of space in your new house!!

If it helps I’ve just counted up all the names of my old seeds 35 varieties . They are mixed together for a mass sowing. So I’ve got 73 varieties really. My oldest was sow by 2015.
