I have a big variety - several kinds of romas, some orange, yellow, purple, something called a black brandywine, and some heirloom that are always a fun surprise.

I also grow a nice variety of peppers, summer squash and my own garlic. This year I also planted some sweet dumpling squash, which is more of a 'winter' squash.

I will definitely try the upside down storage.
