I grew red snapper in 2021 in northern Utah. It out preformed any tomato I’ve ever grown in the last 35 years I’ve had a garden. I live in Hooper Utah. We are famous for growing awesome tomatoes and onions. We have tomato days on the September 1st, people come from all over to buy tomatoes by the bushel.

Bella Rosa, Red Snapper, Sun Gold, are variety I keep hearing good reports on for Southern growers. An indeterminate one is Big Beef. The hot humid deep south just isn't ideal for tomatoes so it's important to plant as early as possible. Even if you must go out nightly to cover up plants because of potential frost. Second week of April if not earlier. By 4th of July you are pretty well finished even if blight hasn't got your plants yet they won't set fruit any longer. You can however start Fall tomatoes in August to harvest before Thanksgiving.

I am Growing the Tachi tomato as my very late season tomato down here in zone 10 florida! This time of year has extremely high disease pressure. I Planted seeds in Late Feb. The plants are now 4 ft tall on May 6. Not one diseased leaf all the way to the ground. I have severe nematode problems and no sign of stress yet. Each plant has 20 to 30 tomatoes on it and 3 times as many flower clusters coming on. I have been growing tomato plants here in Florida for 30 years and I have never been so impressed! I grew Tomatoes in Maryland for 20 years and I have never seen anything like the disease resistance and production of these plants.

Trim the tops off of those that are not loading up. Keep them topped at about 5 feet and they will load up. My Mountain Merit and Mountain Fresh get to about 4 feet tall and put on 60 to 70 tomatoes at a time. My heirloom indeterminates wont put a lot on unless I pinch off the suckers and keep the tops trimmed off.

I'm gonna ditch strict Florida weave and try that large square netting. I'll weave them once and not complete the figure 8 support since that'll be impossible. However, they can grow into the holes easily and I won't have to make repeated weaves throughout the growing season. I hate doing that as I'm a commercial grower and have many things to do besides weaving.

I know this was a few years ago, but if you get your welder out there and weld 3 foot extensions of rebar on the T-post, those indeterminate s will continue to grow and produce some fine tomatoes. A friend of the family, when I was growing up, always had 10 foot tall tomatoes and he had to use a step ladder to get to the fruit. He told he he use to grow up to 15 foot plants. They were great tasting tomatoes, have no idea what varieties he was growing back then. All I remember they made awesome tomato and bologna sandwiches!

I love watching and learning here. I also don’t prune my tomatoes, never have, but I DO put a nice open space between each plant. I feel like over the years of granular fertilizing I’ve caused a white fly problem last year. I’m thinking too much high dose fertilizer causes other problems later on, and I wonder how you felt about that. One tomato I grew up on is better boy, and I will always plant those, however, I like to do trials myself. So I’m very curious about the red snapper flavor. I really like tangy acidic tomatoes. Would you say red snapper is tangy, sweet or smoky? I have heard of some of the varieties you are growing.

Hey Travis how are ya? For decades now I've been using tomato cages I made out of wire used to reinforce concrete . 5 ft tall with 6 inch squares. Im seriously considering the Florida weave for support . I usually put out about 100 plants and want to double that this year. I was wondering how difficult it is at the end of the season to remove the plants with the Florida weave. It's quite a chore with the cages and I'm no spring chicken anymore. What are your thoughts on cleaning up after using Florida weave versus tomato cages. Thank you.

Every year I plant about 20 to 30 tomato plants and it seems the heat gets them and they stop flowering. The cherry tomato plants do the best. Most of my plants get some flowers early and then thats it, they start drying out falling off. Do you have yours get flowers later on? Also when you use the drip irragation how do you keep the front of the row from getting all the fertilizer.

Those Tachi would be a delight. I have terrible luck with Roma's here in East Texas Same zone as you, similar soil. I make a lot of salsa and those kind are great for fresh or canned Salsa. Will you carry them this year?

You can find our twine here: hosstools.com/product/gro-tie-garden-twine/ We don't top the indeterminates, because they're usually toast here by mid-July anyways. We just let them fall over the sides. Our heat and humidity won't allow us to grow them throughout the summer.

We use our Wheel Hoe (hosstools.com/product-category/wheel-hoes/) to lightly cultivate between the rows once a week -- just the first couple inches of soil, nothing too deep. This helps to kill weeds when they're tiny so they don't get large and go to seed.

Is there a reason you do not mulch your aisles and between your plants?
@gardeningwithhoss

We're growing food year round and always rotating our crops. So the row spacing is always changing. As a result, we'd be constantly moving mulch every time we replant.

Beautiful crop. One question. How does the string allow the tomatoes to grow upwards? Does the limbs get caught on the string? Probably a stupid question but just curious. I'm a subscriber if that helps get an answer. Thank you

You need to put bigger steaks on your Indeturminent hierloom tomatoes. They will grow and fruit until it frost. I'm Michigan they get 10ft tall by September.

Ours are toast by July. They can't take the heat. If we used taller stakes, we'd have to use a ladder to pick them and don't want to have to do that.

If the bottoms are rotting, that's a calcium deficiency which can also be exacerbated by excess water or infrequent watering. Feed them some calcium and they'll usually grow out of it.

That can vary greatly depending on soil type and outside temperatures. But assuming no rainfall, here in the south we'll water them every other day or about an hour with the drip. You could do it more frequently for a shorter amount of time if you want, but that's the schedule that works best for us.

A general recommendation is to place tomato plants about 18-24 inches apart, but plant spacing actually depends a lot on the type of tomato variety you're planting. Research the variety or follow spacing guidelines on the seed packet or plant tag.

No need in it. Most of these are determinate varities, so they won't get much taller than they are now. For the indeterminate or cherry types, the July heat will kill them anyways. So we just let them go while they can.
