I am a huge gardener and have grown about every tomato there is! Just some advice, Heirloom tomatoes do not produce like regular tomatoes. They bear a lot later and in very small amounts! If u r planning on putting up Salsa, juices or canned tomatoes use the regular dependable tomatoes!!!!!! A few of the Heirlooms better than others for reliablilty, the Oxhearts and Green Zebras r not bad. Different tomatoes grow better in different areas. I live in Zone 5, Missouri area. Better Boys, Big Boys, Beef Steaks all do well here. Talk to ur local Greenhouses or neighbor and ask what they recommend.
