Growing tomatoes

[Warpy]

2. Depending on where you are

these can produce fruits weighing up to 2 1/2 pounds, and that's a big tomato. The flavor is really mild, meaning they've got a lot of sugars in them. These would be more suitable as burger tomatoes than canners, IMO, but they'll be fun to grow and amaze the neighbors.

I always grew varieties like Early Girl and cherry tomatoes back in New England for eating out of hand and in salads. For canning, I had a patch of Roma tomatoes, not very good eating fruits but great for spaghetti or pizza in February.
