Best tomato for 2015

Every year I try different tomatoes; I'm always searching for that perfect tomato that seems to allude us all.

This year my best performing tomato is the Martinos roma.  I started some from seed and also purchased two from the Birmingham Botanical Garden sale. 

The plants are marvelous; compact and sturdy, resistant to blight (so far) and extremely productive.   One of my criteria for the perfect tomato plant is the ability to pollinate even during our hot summer and these romas haven't missed a beat as our summer has stoked up.

The fruits are a good size for a roma and very meaty.  They are wonderful in salads and sliced on sandwiches.  I will be making tomato sauce soon and expect them to make a thick sauce.

I'll be growing these tomatoes again next year.
