This list represents about 1/3 of my total 2014 tomato plants, the others are f1-f4 crosses, growouts, and selections. The majority of the crosses I have are with small or salad sized fruit. i decided to try some dwarfs and sauce varieties this year. It's notable that this is the first year in memory that I haven't sowed f1 sungold. Many of the crosses involve sungold, so there wont be a shortage of small orange fruit. I hope to see more deep red flesh colors in some of the pinks and reds. Not sure I got all the colors perfectly sorted.

Seeded eggplants today:
Bride hybrid
Cambodian Green Giant (if this early-start season doesn't get me fruit, I'm done with this)
Louisiana Long (a favorite)
Rosa Bianca
Kamo
Long Purple (a staple)
Tsakoniki
Couple of these are just to use up an old seed packet.

Last year I planted 50 eggplants and the gophers ate all but 12. I have the Spanish contingent of Eggplant this year. Every now and then I have to go out and whisper to them...Tapas! I don't want them to suspect that they are Californicos yet...

Must start potting up tomatoes this week, to transplant out in ~3 weeks.

I've been potting up the laggards. I put about ten tomatoes in the ground a couple weeks ago; only about 70 more ready to go! Have been sidetracked with sowing bush beans, pumpkins & winter squash.

I could have planted out much of what I have coming for transplants, but this year of "no Spring" has caught me with my "plants" down; it just isn't normal timing. Sniff; whine.

I might be in the same boat...it's anybody's guess if we'll hit 100 in April or July. So far it's a lovely spring. The native agaritas and persimmon are setting a bumper crop. Don't know if it's a swan song or indication of future rain that only they can see. This planting is a bit late for beating the heat, and as it was I still had a frost to contend with. I hope spring returns for you.

Don't think I want Spring (frost) back; it's just that Summer is early, so my plants aren't ready and my work is compressed, time-wise.

Steev, Leo says we have to peddle faster. I tried to convince Leo to let me plant tomatoes in March, but he poopooed the entire idea.
Now I'm scrabbling like an egg in a skillet. It's too windy today to fool with transplants, and too dry to weed. Sure hope we get that rain on Friday. Back to cleaning the chicken coop and fertilizing those tomatoes.
I'm spreading compost.

Well, I started all of my Solanaceae in the first week of April like I always do, but I'm having serious reservations about them getting transplanted on time. We are warming up much more slowly than normal this year, and my garden is still impassible for walking, much less tilling.
My list is much more modest than many of those posted here, but I will count myself lucky if they all do well this year:
Tomatoes:
Black Pepper
Cambron Orange
Cleota Pink
Czechoslovakian
Elfin
Landis Frost Resistant
Novochoc
Orange Beef Heart
Orange Centriflor Hypertress
Roughwood Golden Plum
San Marzano Redorta
Slankard's
Snickers
Wolford Wonder
Yellow Pasta
Solanum spontaneum (name given by source at a seed swap, this seems to be an invalid species, probably a currant tomato)
Peppers
Aji Dulce
Bea
Beaver Dam
Cubanelle
Elephant Ear
Feher Ozon
Greygo
Jalapeno, Early
Jalapeno, Purple
Jalapeno, Tam
New Orleans
Pizza
Trinidad Perfume
Unknown (possibly Tobago Sweet)
Eggplant
Casper
Diamond
Turkish Orange
Misc. Solanaceae
Tomatillo, John Wyche
Litchi tomato, Morelle de Balbis (from volunteers)
Much of the seed is from crops grown in 2005-2007, stored at room temperature with central A/C in Summer. For tomatoes, even much of the 2006 seed had close to 100% germination, and the worst case (Yellow Pasta, from 2005) still had 37%. Turkish Orange eggplant (2005 seed) had 90%. Peppers did not fare as well, probably because some of the peppers were not fully mature when harvested... only 1 of 27 germinated for Feher Ozon (from 2006 seed) and one planned pepper (Manganjii, also 2006 seed) appears to be dead. I'll try a large-scale rescue planting of that one next year.
Chances are that I will be potting up plants shortly; the new grow lights I tried this year (high bay 6-bulb T8 fixtures) are causing much more rapid growth than the T12 shop lights I used previously. That could turn out to be a problem if the weather remains cool (it's getting down to 30 F. tonight) and I am unable to put them outside on schedule. The good news is that the plants are "tanning" nicely, hopefully they won't need as much hardening off as they did started under T12s.

Seedman, what's a San Marzano Redorta? Have you grown it before? Does it get the dreaded BER?
