Cherokee Purple, Bradley and Sungold always seem to make my top tomato list.
I had so many new varieties last year, it is just too hard to say. Picking a favorite is sort of like picking your favorite child. I have at least one favorite in just about every color. 
Do you have a particular size or color in mind? |
I'm in Sherwood, about 1/2 an hour away.
I like smaller tomatoes and early because I'm impatient, taste is not as important as looking pretty! lol
Last year was a mess! It was either too hot or too wet. I don't grow the larger tomatoes well, they either just don't set fruit or when they do, they crack.
I also like smaller type plants, because I grow in containers.
