There are hundreds. If you want to gather seeds for next year, then the plants must be grown in isolation because the wind, bees, and other insects will cross-pollinate them from other tomato varieties up to a mile away.

Why anyone would bother with gathering seeds is a mystery to me -- you can purchase 1,000's of seeds of most any variety for about $20.

Since you are in Utah, consider contacting your Agricultural Extension office for information on maladies and remedies for your area: Agriculture - Utah State University Extension - extension.usu.edu
