Cherokee Purple are my favorite for taste. Another that I planted this year that seems to be new to the market is an Indigo Rose. Smaller than the Cherokee but supposed to taste better. We will see.

I tried a couple Rutgers plants last year last year and switched to just them this year the are heirloom and I didn't have the problems with them that I had with the Cherokee Purple and they are just as good to me...

Try lemon boy .

I HATE Bonnie plants. Their tomatoes seem to come already diseased from the nusery.

We either grow our own or buy our plants at a local family owned greenhouse. For those in this area, it's Blanks Berry Farm and it's just south of the Albertville Airport, about 1/2 mile off Hwy 75, on Needmore Road.

Aunt gerties hold is the best tomato I've ever grown, they're massive, yellow, and very acidic. Cherokee purple is about the best you can get at a local store and not have to order seeds from a specialty shop.

Always have had great results with Bonnie. Trying the Marion tomato this year, and some cherry tomatoes that I can't remember the name.

Regardless of what you chose try this on just one plant and see if it makes a difference. Dig your hole with a post hold digger or shovel put a banana and raw egg in the bottom, cover with some dirt then put about two tea spoon of Epsom salt on the dirt. Water really good then put your tomato in and put the rest of dirt in the hole. Read up on what Epson salt will do for your plants. I am trying it this year. I have 29 tomato plants some I used the banana, egg, and Epson salt and so far I have not lost one plant and they look great. Happy gardening.

I am a big fan of celebrity. They did real good for me last year. I also planted a couple Cherokee purple for the first time this year but they aren't doing that well.

My favorite is Amelia. I always plant sweet 100s too for the kids. I had a Cherokee purple but it didn't like the ground I put it in.
