What tomatoes to grow next year

[headfullofbees]

I’ve grown a few different tomato varieties and I would like some advice for some good heirloom tomatoes to grow. I’ve grown tomato delicious, brandywine, beefsteak, and Abe Lincoln tomatoes and I’ve heard that mr. stripey and Cherokee purple tomatoes are good varieties to grow. I’m going to grow one cherry tomato plant and seven normal size tomato plants next year, so some advice on some good cherry tomato varieties would also be appreciated. Also, I want to grow garlic in the middle of all the tomatoes because I’ve heard it keeps aphids away, but I want to know if it keeps beneficial insects away as well.

Bees love all allium flowers, and so are not deterred by garlic.

Thanks for the answer about the bees.

We grew Mountain Fresh tomatoes last year. Huge yield and everything ripened within a 2 week span which is great if you can.
