Default Re: Tomatoes

I pretty much grow the same thing every year although I have grown lots of different heirloom varieties. I'm at the point now where it just seems easier and more fun to sample all the tomatoes at the Farmers Market and buy whatever tastes the best that week.

These are my normal choices for backyard tomatoes.

Sungold or Sunsugar - Hybrid orange cherry that seems to never stop producing and has superb flavor.

Brandywine- great for slicing

Stupice- really early, good flavor, small to medium sized

The last couple seasons a farmer at the Santa Monica Farmers Market has been selling a bright orange, roundish tomato he calls Caltrans. I can't find any info on them but they are really good!
