Just cleaned up my tomato bed, it’s ready for some tomato plants this coming January.
I’m excited thinking about next season. What varieties to grow. I know for sure I’ll grow one Sun Gold cherry tomato, and 2 Black Krim tomatoes. The rest is up in the air. How about everyone else?

Ahh, I'm pretty much stuck on the ground
(sorry, couldn't resist)What ever happened to good old fashioned RED Tomatoes? Cherry tomatoes sound good though.

I have a bag of seeds of hundreds of red tomato seeds, which one is the question. This year I will restrict myself to 8 plants only.Ahh, I'm pretty much stuck on the ground

I’ve finally found toms that grow well in this humid, hot, bug infested South. The Big Beef F1 and Roma resist all! I ended up with 5 gallons of jarred tomatoes and sauces.

I have trouble with some paste tomato, I think I will focus on just growing large red tomatoes for BLT.I’ve finally found toms that grow well in this humid, hot, bug infested South. The Big Beef F1 and Roma resist all! I ended up with 5 gallons of jarred tomatoes and sauces.

That's what I wanted, the one slicer for a tomato sandwich.

This year I will definitely buy a Japanese variety Momotaro, it’s pretty productive. Last year some people online recommended this variety but I could only get the orange variety.

They're great everywhere and tough plants to boot. They'll grow where you are I'm sure. I saw them on the National Gardening Association forum and the tomato queen, New York Rita, grows them. They can well too...You can put me down for a batch of those Formula One Big Beefy ones - they'd be great on grilled cheese and tomatoe or ham cheese and tomatoe omlettes
Damn you - you are tempting me to give them a try ..................... we love good juicy tomatoes with most foods, especially home made burgers

Tomatoes are easy and these plants are tough. I'm living in the deep South where we have 3 bug cycles a summer, it'll be a blast.Damn you - you are tempting me to give them a try ..................... we love good juicy tomatoes with most foods, especially home made burgers
