Hi all,

I'm pretty new to the entire tomato world, this being only my second season. I apologize, therefore, if this topic has been beaten to death, but here goes:

I live in the 10b zone, Los Angeles, CA, and am not clear on if certain varieties are better suited to a specific climate zone, or if it's simply that areas with colder, shorter growing seasons need to be more careful with choice of varieties. We tend to have cooler, overcast Spring and early Summer, giving over to a hot "humidish" middle Summer, into a blazing hot late Summer.

Are there some great tasting heirlooms that are specifically suited to my climate which you can recommend? Looking to put in six plants, each different, this year. Hoping for beefsteak, slicers, cherries and all around salad types.

Thanks!
