I'm talking super short season - check out my zone. I put my hybrids out with hot caps in mid-May this year; usually they don't go out until June. They're doing surprisingly well (Sunstart and Applause). We can expect frosts in mid-September with occasional surprise frosts toward the end of August some years. The only heirloom I've had limited success with was Speckled Roman and a hollow yellow I don't remember the name of, but even then there were only half a dozen toms that ripened of all the plants. I would love to grow something like Black Krim, but sadly I think that dream may just have to be put aside for now.

Anyway, I'd love a really tasty fresh eating OP tomato as well as a paste for freezing and canning. Any suggestions?
