The secret to growing tomatoes in the south is Daconil. Start spraying the week after you set out your plants. Spray every week and after every rain. That and planting early. Here in Houston I try to have my plants out by the 1st weekend in March. They start ripening the 3rd week in April and are usually done by the 4th of July. Varieties that produce well are Big Beef, Atkinson, 4th of July, Maya & Sions Airdrie Classic, Heidi, "Girl, Girl's Weird Thing", Black Krim, and most of the Dwarf Project Tomatoes. Of course the cherries all do well.
