If I can get the second greenhouse on Plot 1 and extension to the shed and two other extensions for short bush type tomatoes in place for next year, then I really need to sort out which ones in my tomato collection they are.
In addition with all that wall it may be worth having a few varieties in hanging baskets or those upside down hanging baskets, the only trouble would be the squirrels that run back and forth along the wall would likely eat them.
Using the back of packs, Google and The Tomato Variety List I have sorted by Growth Habit for my current tomato collection
Cordon/Indeterminate tomatoes - these varieties of tomato plant are the most common and are grown as cordons (single stemmed plants with side shoots removed). They will grow very tall - sometimes taller than 2.5m in very warm conditions.

Seed Saving
The aim this year is to save as many different varieties of Mini, Micro & Mini Dwarf varieties as possible to freshen up my stock of seeds for next year when hopefully I will have two greenhouses running on the plot.
