Choose the Right Tomato for Your Kitchen

Paste tomatoes: Generally prized for dense flesh and relatively low moisture, making them useful for thick sauces, tomato paste and slow-cooked dishes.
Roma and plum tomatoes: Usually oval or elongated, with many varieties offering meaty flesh for roasting and sauces. The terms overlap, so check the individual listing for size, texture and recommended uses.
Grape tomatoes: Small, oval tomatoes for garden snacking, lunch boxes and salads. They are also delicious roasted, but are not automatically paste tomatoes simply because of their shape.
Flavor beyond the sauce pot: Slice firm Roma or plum tomatoes for sandwiches, chop them for fresh salsa or roast them with herbs for a simple side dish.

Know Your Tomato Growth Habit

Determinate: Plants reach a more limited size and tend to produce much of their crop over a shorter harvest window. Fruit does not necessarily set all at once, and plants still benefit from cages or other support.
Indeterminate: Plants continue growing and producing over a longer season while conditions remain favorable. Plan for sturdy support and regular attention to the vines.
Check the variety: Fruit shape does not determine plant growth habit. Review each listing for growth habit, spacing and days to maturity.

Planting Tips for Success

Start indoors: Sow seeds about 6–8 weeks before your intended transplant date. Keep the seed-starting mix warm and provide bright light after emergence.
Wait for warm conditions: Harden off seedlings gradually, then transplant after frost danger has passed and the soil has warmed. Time fall plantings for your local heat and frost patterns.
Choose a sunny site: Use fertile, well-drained soil and follow variety-specific spacing. Set cages, stakes or trellises in place early.
Keep moisture consistent: Water deeply at soil level as needed and mulch to reduce moisture swings. Avoid allowing plants to repeatedly dry severely between waterings.
Feed with care: Follow soil-test recommendations and fertilizer label directions. Too much nitrogen can encourage leafy growth rather than fruit production.
Harvest at the right stage: Check the variety's expected ripe color and pick fruit that is firm with a little give. Very hot or cold conditions can interrupt flowering and fruit set.

Ways to Enjoy Your Harvest

Simmer: Cook paste and Roma tomatoes into rich pasta sauce, pizza sauce or tomato paste.
Roast: Halve plum tomatoes or roast grape tomatoes whole with olive oil and herbs.
Serve fresh: Add chopped tomatoes to salads, fresh salsa and bruschetta.
Freeze: Save harvested tomatoes or cooked sauce for meals beyond the growing season.
