Also note the amount of sun in various areas of your garden. Most large, beefsteak-type tomatoes need 6 to 8 hours of sunlight to produce healthy fruit. However, if your garden doesn’t bask in full sun, don’t worry—some smaller, cherry-type tomatoes will produce with less sun, particularly the yellow and white varieties.

Next, consider how you want to use your tomatoes. Do you desire a summer-long daily serving of bruschetta, or do you plan to preserve jars of sauce for winter? For a long season of tomato treats, indeterminate tomato plants provide continuous fruit throughout the growing season until frost or disease kills the vines. Indeterminate tomato plants need space and support, as the vines can grow as tall as 10 feet (3 m). For a crop that produces all at once in a big flush of fruit, determinate tomatoes provide a nice crop for canning and preserving. Plus, the vine is more manageable in containers, with the plant growing approximately 3 feet (1 m). For smaller spaces, dwarf tomato varieties offer short vines with decent production, perfect for containers on patios or balcony gardens.
