Hubby grew up on a large tomato farm in Michigan and learned how to grow tomatoes from his dad. Hasn't been able to grow good tomatoes here in Florida in the 7 years we have been here. The best tomatoes we have gotten have been the cherry tomatoes but the larger tomatoes seem to always get blossom end rot or birds get them or some other reason. We tried growing them on the lanai (not enough sun), outside (too much sun) it's very discouraging. We get our tomatoes at the farm stands or farmer's market in Brownwood or Marion Market. This time of year it is tough to find the ones that smell like a real tomatoes.
