I suppose I could save some seeds this year. My tomatos are very close and growing into each other so it's likely some cross pollinated. I think I've got 1 Cherokee people, 1 roma, 1 black krim, and 1 Italian Roma in one row. My other rows (2 rows of 4 plants side by side) are black Krim, Roma (could be Italian Roma or San marzano) and I think possibly another type. But they all got mixed as seedlings so I don't really know what's what. I can tell the romas apart from the rest based on shape already but they'll have to get fully ripe before I know exactly what's what.

Even though they are all indeterminate, I like how I can get so many in such a small space. The plants just become crazy in August and September. I'm doing a bit better job of pruning them just s little this year so hopefully I don't have too much jungle.

I think I canned around 30 pints and quarts of tomato sauce last year, but had to buy some tomatoes from someone. Hopefully I can get another box of jars and do even more. I do it in the crockpot overnight for pizza sauce.

Maybe next year I'll try a new variety. I'm just looking for the meaty types.
