Best Fall Tomato Varieties

1. small tomatoes (like cherry tomatoes) produce large amounts of blossoms, increasing the numbers of fruit that are pollinated even in the heat of the summer
   
2. early to mid-maturing tomatoes (less than 80 days) set fruit and mature in the shortest time, making them easy to grow on a limited time frame
   
3. heat-tolerant varieties pollinate and set fruit earlier and at higher temperatures

Here are some types of tomatoes that gardeners designate as best tomatoes to grow in the fall.
