So how have better boy plants preformed for ya'll where its hot humid almost all summer and stays in 90s alot if not 100s& lows barely drop to 80.((yeah i'm really asking alot for my tomato plants))
I bought one celiberty,the same as grew last year,but doing inground which I normally don't do,along with my 6 pack of better boy.I wanted brandywine but walmarts not carrying that this year.I also sowed some marigold amoung them.

Well I have high humidity year round unless a cold front drops in.

I've had them inground now for 2 weeks so will likely fertilize tomorrow.I also have a ant condo to dust tomorrow.I bought some cheaper ant stuff,but don't work as well as the higher costing stuff.

I got some seeds for a type that grows well in IRAN(the heat& all........)Its called a big red tomoato.I can't tell a thing the pack says....but it has pictures,so good seeds usually have pics on the pack.(Tomat/kpachbin bernkah)

Never had much luck with seeds. I pay a little more and buy 8 plants. Four Better Boy and four Better Bush. Since there are just the 2 of us, I have plenty to eat freah, cook down, and share. Really got my money's worth last year!!!!

I have always grown Better Boy's....in my opinion they are the best tomato!!! I have never grown any tomatoes from seed....I always get a couple of 6 packs. I loooooooooooove tomatoes.

In the past I have found that digging in lemon/orange rinds and let them decompose underground where you are going to plant the next year a great success.....I guess they love the acidity from the rinds....and each year I move the bushes over one spot as to not plant in last years holes. When planting I also toss and mix in one handful of triple 15 fertilizer before planting.

Tried a few other varieties many years ago along with the better boys...but wasn't impressed with the taste/texture(meatiness)/skin etc.

I have never heard of the better bush....how do they rank compared to better boy tomatoes? Diseases etc.????

I was thinking about planting some Juliets as well...that is if I can find them this year.

I have been sick so haven't got my maters in yet. This weekend is looking good!
