What's your favorite tomato???
 
I always planted my favorite from the stores I bought from....I thought favorite meant how many it produced and how nice and round the fruit was...Last couple years I planted from seeds...I always thought heirlooms were some kind of special plants when all they are is original non hybrids...I have tried a few and I got to say if you want a REAL tomato plant an heirloom...The flavor can't even be compared to a hybrid...So far my favorite is the bison and brandy wine...They won't produce like a hybrid but the quality more than makes up for it...A lot of folks on here brag on their arkansas travelers so I got a few of them I'm fixing to stick in the ground...A bison doesn't like much water and does better early when it's cool so I plant them in 5 gal. buckets and they do well....Not a big tomato but one of the most tasty you ever had....Brandy wine is not a tomato you will find in a store because it's not perfectly round but once you taste one you will see shape just doesn't matter....Whats your favorite????

Back when I had my restaurant I supplied it with 10 sweet 100's. They make a lot of tomatoes. I like roma, creole, and beef steaks.

I love the Super Sweet 100s as well. That plant puts out some tomatoes

Celebrity's are my favorite. I've tried several and always had best luck with celebs.

Creoles.

I have fond memories of eating a tomato and Hellman's mayo sandwich with fresh tomato's from my Pawpaw's garden. 1 slice covered a sandwich bread.

Cherry varieties are the best for me cause the kids eat em like candy and so do the wife and I; great for salads and can make some awesome salsa w/ them. they produce like crazy.
