Thank you. Since you might read this, I am wondering which tomatoes you might choose for the few Earthbox spots that will open up when I yank my sweet peas with the current heat wave. I have

Secret Sauce, Sneaky Sauce, Dwarf Awesome, Pink Berkeley Tie Die, dwarf Dark Queen, Maglia Rosa,

FWIW, aside from a few tomato sandwiches, and including an amazing tomato pie recipe, I seem to prefer cooked tomatoes. The exception a might be Sungold and Pineapple, which I think aren't practical in an Earthbox

I already have at least one of each.
