I just preused years of tomato recommendations here in rec.gardens,
and thought I'd go ahead and re-ask the perennial question "What's
your favorite tomato?" Favorites from years past seem to include
Pineapple, Pink Girl, Lemon Boy, Big Girl, and Park's Whopper. What's
your current favorite? And please mention where you got your seed.
By the way, I'm in Zone 9. Do specific varieties do better in some
zones than others? If so, what are good selections for Zone 9?
I don't know about Zone 9, but in Zone 6 my hands down winner for a great
cherry tomato is Jolly, the 2001 AAS winner. I tried it this past summer,
and it did a wonderful job of producing large quantities of a great tasting
cherry tomato. It was heat tolerant, crack resistant, and had a great tomato
taste.

As a slight variation on the original topic, I was looking through the
heirloom tomatoes on seedsavers,com, and was amazed at the huge
variety. Is there a good resource that will tell me about the
different kinds, or do I just close my eyes and blindly choose some
and see if I like them?

Rebecca, Seed Saver's Exchange was where I started my tomato oddesey
this season, and I too was bewildered by the multitudes of choices.
I saw an interview with an expert heirloom tomato grower who listed
his favorites, which include Pinky Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Aunt
Jenny's Purple, German Red Stawberry, the 1884 Tomato, Red Mortgage
Lifter VFN, and Eva's Purple Ball. Unfortunately, the only one of
these listed on the Seed Savers Exchange website is Cherokee Purple,
which is why I thought to ask the kind folks here in rec.gardens to
offer up their favorite tomato varieties.
