Lumpers and splitters

greenstormLast year I did my tomato trial in one big patch, a single plant of each type alphabetized in order and then at the end of Z I started again at A. Everything was in there together.
I now know that I need to break out:
-green-when-ripe
-cherry
-maybe indeterminates/earlies, mids, and lates?
..in that order of priority. I could also break out the black/purples if I wanted to.
I also need to look at how I'm going to organize my peppers. Probably I'll try putting a couple fancier ones in the ground as well as the annuums, and so species and sweet/hot seem like reasonable divides.
In some sense there's tension between a trial setup, where location is ramdomized or somehow made uniform, and an ease-of-harvest setup where things are clumped with like.
