Talking Growing Tomatoes

I'm finding it very tough to grow tomatoes in Florida. I planted 3 tomatoe plants in the middle of March, and got best results from "Big Boy" plants. Then in April I put a plant in back yard, in area that only gets afternoon sun. Plant grew pretty good, with less yellow leaves. (Maybe I got a crop of about 30-35 tomatoes so far as the plant continues to grow) It's not a Big Boy either, and tomatoes are mostly size of peaches. So last week I planted two more in back to see if they grow better. Has anyone had good luck with tomatoes, and maybe have some hints for growing here in The Villages
