I don't want to bring tomato plants to market anymore. I have 8 very large and somewhere around 60 normal size- so much for the money making! I sold a few trays worth I guess but not enough. I am thinking of replacing anything in the garden that looks bad and that will use up some of the extras. I have a row of peas that is not growing nor did the squash germinate there last year! So I plan to put in some more tomatoes - why not?! Which of these varieties should I plant *more* of? JD Texas Caspian Pink Rose McClintock's Big Pink Aunt Ginny's purple PL Black Krim Brandy Sudduth's Red Brandy Red Alert Marmande Cuostralee Kellogg's Gold Medal Green Zebra Jersey Giant Polish Linguisa Amish Paste
Those are the potentials for adding more. I thought I might as well get some input.

I still have yet to try Coustralee. Every time I see the name I think of Lee. Can't figure out why? ;D
I would choose more brandywines. I've heard good things about JD's but haven't grown it yet.

I think it depends upon what you already have in the garden & to what use you put your maters. Can we assume you already have at least 1 of each of these on your list? Personally, I would put in more Cuostralee, Brandywine Red & Kellogg's Breakfast. I notice you are in Minnesota. All of these are rather late-yielding beefsteaks...hopefully you have enough time to get a decent yield! ;D

Marmande is pretty early for a large-ish tomato, so would be a good choice if you are worried whether the season is long enough to get a decent harvest. Great fresh, and the extras cook down well for sauce.
