Growing Tomatoes in Florida
How in the world do you grow them?????
I tried last year and this year and have been unsuccessful in doing so. I've been told (sorry if you have read this before) that when the temps stay high at night that the tomatoes are done, finish, won't put out another bloom. I'm so tomato prived that it isn't funny. For the last 8 years I've not really had much in the way of good tasting, red (not green or white) juicy tomato, you know the ones I'm talking about, like when you are out in the garden find a beauty of a tomato and pick it and eat it right there, with the juice running down your chin.... When I lived in Kentucky didn't have a problem growing them, moved to northern Ohio for 8 years and they would get started good, but didn't get any real tomatoes, plenty of green tomatoes for frying, before the first frost hits. And no I wasn't blessed to have a greenhouse. So now I'm back home and I wants me some tomatoes...... Help...... So hopefuly some Floridians will stop by and explain why I can't grow any????? I live in sw Florida, off the Gulf/bay inlet. Jan |
