Alright, here's what I saved seed from:

Green grocery store cherry - firm/doesn't get real soft, really good rich slightly acid flavour, relatively early

Karma miracle bicolour - green pointy saladette, tangy bright strong, one of my favourite flavours this year, ripened a little before frost but I might have missed it ripening earlier, I need to put the greens in their own row next year, some fused into doubles

Karma purple multi - slightly bigger than cherry tomatoes, really tasty sweet/rich, tended to fuse into doubles, variable size

Taiga multicolour heart - big, early ripening, about five per plant, greenish, gets very sweet but I like it a little earlier when still a bit tart, not many seeds per fruit

Ambrosia red - tasty easily splitting cherry

Bloody butcher red - one of the earliest, not a huge producer, ok flavour

Brad red - mid-ripening, I didn't sufficiently differentiate this from the other reds

Cabot red - one of the early ripening reds, ok flavour, fairly prolific, tidy plant

Cole red - one of the early ripening reds, fairly good flavour, fairly prolific, tidy plant

Glacier red - one of the early ripening reds, erratic size, fairly prolific, tidy plant

Katja red - late to fruit but all fruit sized up quickly and ripened at once right before frost, extremely prolific, taste ok, one of the bigger ones

Maya and Sion red - early, but not super prolific, very tasty

Minsk early red - winner of the reds, earliest and most prolific, not the tastiest though, tidy plant

Moravsky div red - one of the early ripening reds, fairly prolific, maybe a week later than minsk early, tidy plant

Silvery fir tree red - beautiful foliage, tidy plant, lots of fruit that ripened just before frost and right after I brought them in, acid flavour. No obvious difference between annapolis and heritage harvest one.

Sweet cherriette red - tiny red cherry tomato, nice small plants and pretty early, suitable for indoors, one of the earliest indoors, pretty ok flavour

Uralskiy ranniy red - dwarf tidy plant, fruited one fruit very early then all the rest were late, need to try removing fruit when I transplant this time

Matt's wild cherry red - tiny red cherry tomato, big sprawling plant, ripened a lot of tomatoes but needs lots of space, nice flavour

Ron's carbon copy black - really tasty mid-late cherry

Mikado black - early very tasty nicely shaped black, tidy plant, definitely a favourite

Rozovaya bella black - weirdly crazed/russetted this year, was very tasty last year, smallish plant

Kiss the sky purple - ripened very few in time, one of the best flavours though, may have mixed this up with some Karmas

Galina yellow - prolific tasty yellow cherry, a little later than some and a bit more of a sprawling plant

Northern sun yellow - it ripened later this year but I brought lots in to ripen, mild, relatively tidy plant

****

Exserted orange - tasty little orange tomato, I'm interested to see what pollen this has collected

"Late good beefsteak" - this is a couple red tomatoes that ripened indoors that were just really tasty so I saved the seeds

"Tasty firm bicolour orange/green berry" - this was from the promiscuous tomato row, it stayed relatively crunchy and had this great zingy flavour. Interested to see if it breeds true

"Late rainbow mix" - I brought in a ton of tomatoes green and have been collecting seeds from the tastiest and colourful ones. There is definitely galina, mikado black, ron's carbon copy, karma miracle, some of the better reds, some purples, just all sorts

"Fall mix" - I don't remember what was in this but I saved it because it was excellent, it's probably mostly reds

"Dark cherry mix" - this might be Karma purple multi or kiss the sky, it was another set that was so tasty I had to save some. Maybe Ron's carbon copy is also in here?

"Minsk and green cherry mix" - two of my favourites were knocked over by the cat so they are a mix now

"Promiscuous A" is some of the best tasting and size fruit from the promiscuous row. Hopefully they've picked up pollen from other tomatoes and done some cross-pollination. No idea what this will bring but I'm super excited to see.

"Promiscuous B" ripened but were for some reason not preferable - bland, or weird shaped. They'll still have crossed etc and honestly early ripening is still a nice trait to have.

(I might have small amounts of Old Italian Pink for myself but none ripened before frost)
