Looking good! I did Momotoros, Red Barn, Goosecreek, Better Boy, Stupice, New Hampshire, Early Cherry, and I think one more that I'm not remembering right this minute. I did the New Hampshire as a special request from one of my "customers" who wanted a high acid tomato for canning. New Hampshire is rated one of the most acidic.

Thanks for your comment! Sounds like you will have quite the varieties yourself this year! We will be canning our own sauce again this year, we use so much tomatoes in our cuisines that we will probably be using the tomatoes for ourselves! We did however grow a few tomato plants for my sweeties Mom who doesn't have space to grow them herself.
Happy gardening!

Bobberman: Sounds like you have a nice collection yourself of Tomatoes! They sure are good in pastes and sauces! Cherries are great for salads too as you probably know
Gixxerific: Thanks for the compliment,, we didn't get that bad of a winter and these have been grown inside. We are just now hardening them off outside
Good luck to both of you this season!

Your tomatoes look great. It is interesting how the different areas go thru the tomato stages at various times. Mine were in the "hardening" stage about early/mid April. Got some in the ground mid April and the rest early May.
This year I have Better Boy, Brandywine, Celebrity, Fantastic, Sweet 100s and Umberto. Here are Brandywine on the right and Fantastic on the left, showing some good blooms
They are located on the far right of this picture, in full sun:
