Our favorite tomatoes are Better Boy, they seem to do better in our climate - don't split as bad and are a consistent large size but hard to beat a good tomato of any variety. We pick them after they blush and bring them to our barn and let them get real ripe and them just put in plastic bags and the freezer. They make great soups, sauces, etc. and are easy to skin and core afterwards.

Jealous - I bet you have great soil in Ohio....
