tomatoes for DC area?

habitat_gardener · January 18, 2010

I have a cousin in Alexandria, VA, who's interested in growing tomatoes from seed for the first time. If you live in the DC area, I'm wondering when you start seeds, and which ones on the following list have done well.

Kosovo
Anna Russian
Russian 117
Druzba
Fox Cherry
Chocolate Cherry
Orange Strawberry
Opalka
Purple Russian
Prue
Ceman
Earl's Faux
Marianna's Peace
Chianti Rose
Cuor di Bue
Black Krim
Cherokee Purple
Aunt Ruby's German Green
Cherry Roma
Dagma's Perfection
Caspian Pink
Camp Joy
Paul Robeson
Depp's Pink Firefly
Jaune Flamme
Dagma's Perfection
Plum Lemon
Pineapple
Tiny Tim F1
