    My favorites are the cherry tomatoes- can’t make up my mind on a single best, though. Blomdkopfchen roast amazing well (or grill!) where Amy’s Apricots do well in salads. Want to get my hands on some black cherries, though.

    Chadwick’s are of course the old stand by in my greenhouse.

    If you like beefsteaks, have you tried brandywine? They’re our favorite burger slicer here. (And oxhearts for saucing)

      Mostly copied from above response.

      Grew up working on a tater farm. Sweet taters and Irish taters.

      We’re in process of moving further north and my girl is excited to try container gardening again.

      I prefer heirloom seed or hardware start plants grown traditionally.

      It’s been a long time since I’ve grown much of anything other than cacti, native ornamentals, and fungi. It’s a kind of work I swore off for a long time.

      Just bought a play farm, will probably grow some tomatoes. Have apple trees, blueberries, and a small vineyard I need to learn.


      Have always heard good things about Brandywine tomatoes.

      Won’t be this year, but we’ll be trying some varieties.

      Roma, we called Romies, were my favorite as a kid. Canned tomato soup and sauce always smelled amazing and the stuff in stores doesn’t compare.

      Best judge of a tomato is to slice it up, add too much salt, and eat it with a fork.

      I think you’re responding to yourself.

        No idea how that happened. Gonna leave that up though.
