Hello all,

In my first year with my own garden this year, I had quite a bit of
success with Gardener's Delight and Balconi Red cherry tomatoes. Both
were delicious, but weren't big and juicy enough for my ketchup recipe.

Go for Alicante which is probably the best choice or for hardiness v quality
Moneymaker.
Tomatoes are far hardier than most folks give credit for. They wont tolerate
frost though and will be blackened like dahlias.
Just a tip. When planting outdoors, water the plants in then do NOT give
water for at least ten, yes TEN days, even longer if poss and once they are
growing away, forget about watering. all you are doing is encouraging the
roots to stay near the surface and making a rod for your own back in the
process. Jim
