What varieties do y’all like to grow as far as flavor and grows well? I have a hard time growing tomatoes down here and looking for something. I did some major soil amendments where I’m going to have a dedicated mater patch. Please share any info that may help me grow a dang tomato.

I think any Hairloom verity is a good tomato. Try this when you plant, dig your hole a couple of feet deep place an 🥚 in the bottom with a fish and banana cover with dirt then put a cup of epsun salt on top of soil water to desolve salt. Then plant tomatoes. You can put some used coffee or tea in the hole. I know it sounds like a lot of work but it works. Look it up on Pinterest I may have left out something! I am going to try some tums with mine this year I do have an unlimited supply of fish chicken litter.If you have a source of cotton waste that is good oh yea cotton seed meal is good also then when your tomatoes get ready y’all have to have a ladder to pick them and they will be as big as basketball 🏀🤣Seriously I got these ideas for Pinterest and if y’all study it y’all see what each thing will contribute to the growth of your tomatoes 🍅 let me know if it helps happy gardening


I am drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed. Thank you Lord

Get them in the ground early before the stink bugs get on them. Amelia has been the best producer for me. I'm trying some different ones this year however.

I plant twice. Celebrity and Better Boys first. Celebrity bear earlier. Then I plant Better Boys again in late June.

Better Boys are my absolute favorite. Not too sweet and a good acidy taste.

Parks Whopper,better boy, Atkinson. Tomatoes like acid. Soil needs calcium. We add lime,basic slag,10-10-10 and water.


Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

If you want a real old days acid tasting tomato, go to Lowe's or Home depot and get a couple of Bonnie Plant Farm "Husky Cherry Red" tomato plants.

These are golf-ball sized tomatoes and one plant will make all you can eat for the season. Two plants and you're giving them away to all your neighbors.

You won't believe how good they are.

I like the black varieties heirlooms the best. Heirlooms typically will give you much smaller yields than the hybrids.

Better boy is my favorite. It's the one that my parents planted in our garden, and the one that l grew up eating as a sandwich tomato. My dad and I would walk to the garden when he came home from work with a salt shaker in his hand, and we'd eat them like apples.

I'm planting way further south than where l grew up, so I've been experimenting with several varieties that can stand the heat. I've had good luck with Paul Robeson, Berkeley tie dye, Cherokee green, Cherokee purple and black and brown boar. Planting several new varieties this year that are supposed to produce well in summer heat...large barred boar, delicious, Jamestown, mountain merrit and a few other oddballs.

You guys try some Sunsugar cherry tomatoes. Best I’ve ever had.

Golly, I have planted all kinds but I went with Better Boy and Roma this year. I love the heirlooms but I prefer indeterminate varities that give the bigger yield and keep producing. I generally plant twice too, like Fur.

Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.

I hve 36 better boys and 36 rutgers ready to plant. Stays warm and dry a few more days and they will go in. Hoping to grow our own canning tomatoes this year instead of buying. Wish me luck!

I guess I get caught up in the moment. My wife asked how many tomato plant I planted. I went count and good grief. With what I planted in the ground and containers, I have 75 plants and still have some in trays. I got a mix of Celebration, Roma, Yellow pair, Bella Rosa, sugar sweet cherry, and Red Snapper. I’m hoping I can get a couple mater sandwiches.
