Third draft (updated 1-02-2017) of the list of tomato varieties from which seeds were harvested in 2016 follows below. Among the 438 varieties of tomatoes raised in 2016, seeds were saved from 349. Seeds for peppers, melons, corn, beans, etc. are listed in other blog posts. Incorporating these into the website ( www.delectationoftomatoes.com ), along with pictures and descriptions, is an effort that will, regrettably, take several months; but seeds are available NOW through the website, or drop me an email (dale@gianttomatoseeds.com) and we can do this the old-fashioned way – invoice mailed with your seeds or the like.

Seeds from these 16 varieties were also collected, but quantities are limited:
Alice’s Egypt (plenty of seeds from previous years)
Claude Brown’s Yellow Giant (plenty of seeds from previous years)
Dwarf Mr. Snow
Glacier
Homestead 24-F
Mayo’s Delight (plenty of seeds from previous years)

Phoenix
Plate Du Portugal (plenty of seeds from previous years)
Rosalie’s Big Rosy (plenty of seeds from previous years)
Sugar Plum Fairy
Zore’s Big Red (plenty of seeds from previous years)
Seeds from these 9 varieties were saved, but fruits were off-type, so seeds are of questionable value:
Black Cherry (medium size orange fruits)
Delano Green Ripe (red when ripe)
Fishlake Oxheart (very intriguing, fluted, oblate, deeply ribbed, super productive)
Flathead Monster Orange (red, not orange – need to try again)
Hippie Heart (not heart shaped)
Old Fashioned Oxheart (Beautiful striped fruit)
Red Belly (small red)
Red Pear Abruzzese (small spherical red)
Tasmanian Chocolate (not brown)
Seeds of an additional 89 varieties (not planning to list – ask if interested, dale@gianttomatoseeds.com) were planted in Spring 2016, but I was unable to save seeds for a variety of reasons:
• No germination
• Seedling died
• Plant succumbed to Curly Top Virus or perhaps some other disease
• Seeds were planted too late, or plant produced no fruit, or produced too late, or deer ate the fruit, or there was miscommunication, or early frost, or – in a few cases – fruits are still growing on the vine as of 10-30-2016.
