Imagine - your favorite fruit ripe and ready to eat all year long.  So says Mother Earth News - offering the five smart strategies and four special varieties to ensure whatever the season - it’s Tomato Time!

Even winter?  Yep - here’s what they recommend for winter: grow cherry tomatoes indoors:

Near Decorah, Iowa, David Cavagnaro harvests cherry tomatoes from plants he grows indoors through winter in 10-gallon containers (see “Winter Tomatoes,” October/November 2004). He starts with cuttings rooted from his summer stock, and grows them in a sun-drenched window. If you don’t have a big south-facing window (or sliding glass door), provide supplemental light from an overhead fluorescent fixture — a great job for a grow-light that would otherwise be gathering dust until it’s needed for spring seedlings.

Do you have a favorite variety of tomato?  Any advice to share on growing tomatoes?
