Favorite tomato to grow???

[wdwmom2]

I want to put in 2 or 3 tomato plants so that I can enjoy fresh BLT's this summer!!!! I just planted a Celebrity, but don't know anything about this variety. I would like to plant one more large size tomato and another cherry sized tomato. Does anyone have any recommendations?????

I was just going to say Celebrity. They are a good tasting tomato, they are pretty disease resistant and are pretty hearty. For cherry tomatoes we like the Sweet 100's. They are very prolific and have a GREAT taste.

we all ways plant big boys and sweet 100's.

Happy eating!

I like better boys for sandwiches and the sweet 100s or patios for eating.

DH grows tomatoes every year. He likes the Beefsteak for large tomatoes. We also like Early Girl. I love yellow tomatoes and last year we planted Carolina Gold and Pineapple. The Pineapple is a very pretty tomato, it is red with yellow stripes. Good luck with your tomatoes. Ours did not do very well last year so we are hoping for a better season this year.

Early Girl, Big Boy, Mariglobe, & Sweet 100's. Yum, I can't wait for fresh tomatoes!

Early girl and beefsteak for BLT's and sandwiches. We also grow lots of plum tomatoes to make the best sauce and ketchup.

Thanks for all the replies. Looks like the sweet 100's win for a cherry type tomato. I think I will check out the Better Boys and Beefsteak for the large tomato. I just can't wait for fresh, ripe tomatos!!!!!!
