Tomatoes need hot days cool nights, so northern grown had a taste that can’t be accomplished in Florida. Haven’t found any tomatoes at farm stands here that are close in taste or texture to what we grow in Michigan or Kentucky.
This year I brought heirloom tomatoes dirt and all, from our farm in KY. My granny said to put them in rolling planters in extreme heat bring them in @ night to cool. Pain in the butt but so far it’s the best tomatoes in 8 years.
My purple Cherokee seeds have been in the family from 1800s, are close to ripe, in a few days time will tell. If not I just bring down 1/2 bushel as needed.
Good luck, even fall and winter grown tomatoes in FL have little to nothing taste
