I grow the Medford Tomato. Greenleaf usually has lots of them in stock in April. They really do well in this climate.

Here is a review of the Oregon Spring tomato variety. It does not rate high in taste, but it is an early producer.

I typically do a six pack of early girls then a few sweet 100 and a few sungold and a six pack of brandy wine. Then when the gallon pots go on sale i buy a few of those too. Last year the blooms fried on my brandywines so they didn't do as good as normal.
I have never gotten a brandywine tomato plant to produce more than 5 tomatoes. I quit growing them. I grow lots of romas, some beefsteaks and a few sweet 100s.
