What I planted this year

I'm a rather inexperienced, second year gardener in 7b/8a zone, and I don't really enjoy gardening. Not at all. What I do enjoy is fresh home grown vegetables!

❓Tell me, my experienced tomato growers and eaters, which of these varieties you think we'll love the most this year! It's mostly for fresh eating, we don't really make sauce, but I do plan to make a few jars of pickled cherry tomatoes.

🍅Husky cherry

🍅Tidy treats

🍅Sungold

🍅Supersweet 100

🍅Some generic grape tomato

🍅Bush Goliath

🍅Lemon Boy

🍅Chocolate Miracle

🍅Black Beauty

🍅Celebrity

🍅Mountain Fresh

I tried to stagger them, so right now they range in size from a 1" seedling to a 2' bush. All the older plants have successfully survived two nights of late frost in their 10 gallon grow bags last week, uncovered, while the younger ones stayed safe indoors. All of the indeterminate kids are going to get a trellis next week, the rest have cages. As much as I tried to stay away from huge vining plants, given that we use 5 and 10 gallon grow bags, I failed. 😆

Our area's sweethearts seem to be German Johnson, Brandywine, and Cherokee Purple, that's what everyone recommends as the best eating tomatoes, but I didn't have an amazing experience with any of them last year. They produced very little and didn't blow my mind flavor wise. 🤷‍♀️ They all died or were near death in July when the real heat and humidity hit, while Husky Cherry just kept pumping out goodies, unfazed. That's why I got more of them this year. The rest of the varieties are all a first time experiment for us.

My ultimate goal is to keep growing different varieties until we figure out a list of the ones that don't want to die in July while offering superior flavor.
