Which Tomatoes to Grow?

by Susan
(Greensboro, NC)

There are so many tomato varieties.
Which ones grow best in Greensboro NC?

Hi Susan,

Choosing tomato plants is a problem for lots of gardeners! It can be hard to decide when there are so many delicious possibilities.

It pretty much depends on whether you want the tomatoes for slicing, cooking, or canning. Also whether you prefer very sweet tomatoes, or something a bit more tart.

I would go to your favorite garden center early in the gardening season, and ask someone to help you choose. Or talk to a friend or neighbor who gardens, and ask what they recommend.

I'm sorry to say that as a gardener, you may never completely solve this problem! There are so many wonderful tomatoes to choose from when planting a garden. It is always hard to decide.

My dad has a garden catalog that offers over 1,000 tomato varieties. Luckily you have the whole winter to study the catalog and narrow down your choices.

by: Anonymous

This is the one I usually grow, also. (Idaho gardeners can also grows tomatoes!) That's one thing that is NICE about living here....... I have enough room to plant as much garden as I want... can even have a few chickens (for eggs & fertilizer).

(NO rooster allowed in my neighborhood, though.)

WHO needs a ROOSTER anyway?

I live in Tennessee, and grow a tomato called "Celebrity". It is a bush-type tomato that is easy to grow, has a great taste, and produces well.

I have been growing this tomato for 6 years, and highly recommend it!
