RE: Favorite Varieties

I'm not in your zone, but I believe you only have a 120 growing period. Theoretically we have a 6 month growing period here in the high desert, but I have better luck putting in a double crop of spring and fall tomatoes, so I'll be interested to see if you get any 'short season' recommendations.

RE: Favorite Varieties

For beefsteaks, Neves Azorean Red and Shuntukski Velican are at the top of my very short list.

For hearts, the list would be much longer.

Any other type of tomato... I don't bother to keep a list.
