Hi Katie! Welcome to ATP. Glad to see another vegetable gardener. You should check out some of the threads in the Vegetable and Fruit forum. (Dave doesn't usually create a whole new forum until there are SO many threads already active at the same time that they "need" their own forum.)
Some of those threads have become like mini-forums, or sub-forums, and there are many "tomato" threads.
For example, this one has 2,000 posts and 22,000 views. It could take a while to read it all!
The thread "Welcome to the Heirloom Tomato thread!" in
Vegetables and Fruit forum
The thread "Growing nearly 100 varieties of Tomatoes" in
Vegetables and Fruit forum
The thread "Hybrid tomato reports" in
Vegetables and Fruit forum
I enjoy the Hot pepper thread, but it hasn't been very active lately. The guy who runs "Seriously Hot Peppers" is a frequent contributor.
The thread "Extra Hot peppers" in

The thread "Pepper Harvest" in
