Tomato lovers

[JimmyWeb]

I love gardening, especially growing tomatoes. What is your favorite type of tomato to grow? I like Mortgage lifters personally.

It seems year after year that we buy Big Boys to plant. They are hardy and a nice variety for us. I also grow cherry tomatoes but I don't know what kind we planted this year. The plants are full though!

I usually grow big boys but also plant differant varieties each year that I haven't grown before.one new one this year is a purple kind that I can't remember the name of w/o going outside to look at.when I do go out I'll post the name. russ

Grape tomatoes are my favorite kind to put in salads and I love the big boy or hothouse for sandwiches. Nothing beats going to the garden and picking tomatoes.

I love it when the neighbors grow tomatoes for the love of it. When they do that I get all the extra delicious homegrown tomatoes that they can't eat.

Planted two Topsy Tervys with Celebrity on April 2. Harvested the first tomato on Thursday. Ate it today. Its flavor was mild, not very acidic.

I start my own seeds for a wider variety, usually plant 1-2 plants of each. Celebrity, Arkansas Traveler, Supersteak, Brandywine, Yellow Brandywine, Caspian Pink, probably missed a few! As for the cherry & patio varieties; Tumbler, Totem, Sugary, Sun Cherry, & others, I plant these in big pots close to the house to "snack" off of! ~~ grnspot110

I personally like beefsteaks or beefhearts. I have grown brandywines and other varieties over the years but I keep coming back to my old favorites time and again. I do grow a few Mr. Stripeys for my wife and some cherry or grape tomatoes for use to snack on and to put in salads during the summer. We love "real" tomatoes!:licking:
