15 Types Of Tomatoes To Grow

Tomatoes requires extra care but once you develop a system, they aren’t difficult to grow, either in the garden or in a container (we have tips to help you with that, too). If you have a sunny spot, and a bit of space, you can grow tomatoes! Be aware that cherry tomatoes, despite their small size, grow on plants that can get very big, and most tomato plants will need staking or support of some kind. Tomatoes are not cold hardy plants, and need hot weather to really flourish, but some varieties may reseed themselves in spring, particularly cherry tomatoes. Of course we all have our favorite tomatoes, but we’ve put together a varied selection of excellent tomatoes you can grow in your own garden, with details about their qualities, best uses and some tips on growing.
