An embarrassment of tomatoes

Who could imagine 100% germination? The names were so intriguing, the descriptions and pictures so seductive ( and did I mention 100% germination?). I found myself with 100 plus tomato plants. Pressing them on family, friends, friends of friends, and the occasional stranger with the slightly crazed look of a gardener in spring, I have thinned the number by half. Surely any heirloom tomato fan who sees the varieties I chose this year will understand how this came to pass.
