For those of you who buy the plants and DO NOT start from seed...

...in your experience what "brand" of plant have you had the most success with? Along with other veggies, I am looking to plant Grape and Beefsteak (style) tomatoes in my newly minted patch of earth (bless my DH for digging it out). I already own tomato cages too..thought it would be smart to get them asap before I actually needed them.

The garden is about 12 x 5 and I am planning on doing short rows vs long ones so I can fit more variety in the space. I would assume due to spread I can only have 2 of each tomato plant, which is fine because there are only 2 of us in the house.

I'm also new to veggie gardening. Growing up my grandfathers both had amazing gardens and I had fond memories of picking the tomatoes, shelling the peas and whatnot. I want my daughter to have the same learning experiences I did, you know, like food actually does not come from a store but from the earth! And hopefully she will eventually appreciate it more knowing how much can go into getting your daily bread.

Thank you so much! :)
