All you back yard tomato growers ....what varieties do you like to plant and have had good results with. I usually wander around the local nursery , look at all the different plants and select some based on how the plant looks , if the name is familiar (my dad had his favorites) and I watch what the other guys are buying .....
Sometimes a plant will grow, looks like it's going to do good then one day it will just wilt wither up and die...
My selections are about as unscientific as you can get . Having had problems with different wilts and nematodes I decided to try to select some disease resistant varieties that might do well in our hot humid climate.
So what I have planted right now , based on disease resistance is :
Better Boy , V F N
Whopper , V F1 F2 N T
Creole , V F1 N
Celebrity (AAS) , N F1 F2
I hope some of them will be able to overcome all the things that want to kill the T in a good BLT ...we shall see.
I've never planted Whopper before but I'm hoping it does well and taste good .
One year I planted a Brandywine heirloom variety and it did well, loved the taste ...but after that first year I planted more and they did poorly..the next year ...not one tomato ?
So what varieties do you like to plant , what varieties are good producers and which varieties taste good !
Lets have some feed back on what maybe I should be planting in South Louisiana !
