Depending on how you are going to can them, you may need to ensure that the
ones you select are acidic enough.

How long is your growing season? You need to pick some that will mature
before your winter sets in. How many batches do you want to put up.
Determinate will set on one time and then it is over. Indeterminate will
set on continually until it gets too cold.

Some companies can tell you which tomatoes ripen early, mid season, and
late. Select from their choices.

Here in the Pacific Northwest we had a terrible year for tomatoes. This
next year we'll be trying again but will be a little more seletive in what
we grow.
Does anybody know of a good variety for canning that grows 'somewhat
easily' in the Pacific Northwest? This year I will be growing them
covered
longer - I'm thinking our wet Spring had a lot to do with the dismal
results of 2005.
ANY suggestions, advice, etc. will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
