Winter is a good time of year to think about the best varieties of tomatoes to grow so you can have plenty of time to order seeds. For tomatoes in cool season summers such as Olympia, Washington, I recommend varieties bred for cool weather such as Oregon Spring, Early Girl, Early Cascade, Husky Gold, Sweet 100, Stupice and others that ripen over a short season. All have different tastes, colors and forms, so have fun reading about these and test as many as you can. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
