First I'd like to apologize to anyone reading this from any foreign country that doesn't live in the United States, since I am only going to discuss the growing conditions here.
Okay.
So where do you live and can you grow tomatoes there?
Well tomatoes are naturally a warm loving crop. They love the warm, dry weather originally. Tomatoes in general cannot stand any temperature lower than 50 degrees fahrenheit and will either be stunted in growth or worse die! OHHH NOO! Now if where you live is cold and wet then don't worry! There are plenty of things you can do to fix this. Greenhouses, hoops over your tomatoes, placing black plastic on the soil to heat it up underground.
Plan for a mini greenhouse can be modified to fit tomatoes I got off of instructables.com :
Now when deciding what type of tomatoe you want, you need to consider how long is your warm season where you live? If it is long then you should consider getting a slow maturing variety that will take longer to produce. If you live in place with very short summers then you should consider getting a very fast maturing tomatoe variety.
Here is a place that sells fast maturing crops:
