I am really late getting my garden in this year and finally have the

can (that I would find at either of those two stores)? My garden is
*very* small so I can't put in too many plants.

If your canning for sauce Roma's are the best and the grow in a fairly
compact plant.

Sorry. I should have been more specific. No, I grow for stewed
tomatoes - tomatoes with onion, celery and bell peppers.

Any tomato will work then. Maybe plant a couple Better Boy and one
something-else (Roma?) Better Boy is a hybrid all-purpose tomato. It
has good flavor and usually yields very high.
