Size

• If you're growing a small garden, try tiny tomato varieties like the Sun Gold, a hybrid type of cherry tomato with a sweet taste. For gardens with more space, a tomato like the Fantastic may be a good choice. According to Washington State University, the Fantastic tomato fares well in taste tests, and grows to a medium or large size.
  
  

Types

• Although tomatoes are commonly red, there are also types that are orange or yellow in color when they are ripe and ready to be picked. For instance, the Jubilee tomato is an appealing shade of orange, and has a solid texture, making it ideal for salads. The Golden Nugget tomato is a much smaller yellow tomato, and it has a meaty texture.
  
  

Considerations

• While tomatoes are often used in savory dishes, there are tomatoes varieties you can include in your garden that are sweet enough to eat as a fruit. For example, the Garden Peach tomato has a sugary taste and is slightly tangy, like a peach. The Sweet Million is another sweet tomato type that can be included in fruit salad; it is a variety of cherry tomato.
