What variety on of Tomatos are you planting this year?

I would love to plant any kind, buy I currently live in an apartment, so no plants for me this year :-(

I'm planting a mix, hopefully from seed. I have several started already, but it will be weeks yet before I can move them outside (we still have freezing weather right now). What can I say, I have spring fever really bad, and hubby suggested I go ahead and start some seeds. Even if they don't make it, I'll be happy. I sometimes don't have much luck with starting from seed. Last year I planted twice, only to have a late frost kill the seedlings. So, I ended up buying plants. I'm planting a mix. One cherry like 'baby girl' because the kids love eating these right off the plant. One beef like 'big boy' because these are great sliced and in salads. And a bunch of paste like 'romas' because these store so well. I've found that one plant, once it gets going produces more than enough tomatos to keep me going while they are fresh. The pastes are best for storing, though because they have more flesh and less seeds. They make great sauces and salsa and stew wonderfully. My youngest kid really likes 'tomato chips', and only paste tomatos dry well.

I plant tumbling tom's every year, these grow out of a hanging basket, and they look and taste great.

I plan on planting early girls and big boys. I like both of them. I plant them from plants and not seeds. I won't plant pear tomatoes because I just think they're shape is too weird...lol Here's a pic of some caterpillars hanging out on my tomato plants.

This year I am living in an appartment.So I will favour small plants rather than seeds.It is easy for my pots in the balcony.This year I will like to grow plum tomatoes, cucumbers,beans,lettuce .I will also like to grow flowers like daisy, rose etc.Young plants are my favour as it is easy to grow.

Well i always grow my own fruit and vegables but all i get is the cheapest ones that are there!

I love growing tomatoes if we can keep the neighbors chickens out of them they are always being let loose to rome and they head straight for our cucumbers and tomatoes. We like to plant little tommy toes(cherry tomatoes), roma tomatoes and beefsteak, a few early girls, And sometimes a low acid yellow. Before we moved to where we live now I used to can 10 dozen pint jars of tomatoes a year. Now we just have a small plot in which to grow enough to be able to enjoy a few of our favorites while they last. I know to grow from seeds is cheaper, but we usually buy the plants because it seems they grow better and bear more tomatoes then we try to grow them from seeds. Maybe it is the fertilizer I don't know. But good luck and happy eating!..

We don't really plant tomatoes here in Singapore. We are not a farming nation. I think tomatoes are relatively cheap to purchase in shops - though if you want them really fresh, I guess you have to plant them yourself. But I don't eat tomatoes (hate them in fact), so this is not for me. :P

forgive my silliness...i have never seen a seed before.and i dont know there are so many types of tomatos.Early Girls?does that mean small tomatos?i just know the fruit,it's red,and can be cooked as a vegetable,:)i dont know other things about tomato. you have gave me some knowledge,thanks.
