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.

I live in the PNW but in the hot part in NE Oregon, however I believe the
best early, cold hardy and great tasting variety is Stupice, Czech
heirloom, winner of taste tests and in my experience two weeks earlier that
Early Girl. Pretty widely available from places like tomatogrowers.com. I
use wall'o waters and usually have good red toms in late June.
