Snipped
I planted Better Boy last year but wasn't exactly happy with the
results. We had a lovely spring, then an incredibly muggy and dry summer
and by August the plants were falling over and by the time the heat
broke and they went back into fruit production I had lost all but one
plant. I'd really like something that can stand our hot and dry summers.
I don't know how it manages to be so humid and everything I plant still
dries up.

Anyway, we like to eat the tomatoes off the vine in the summer with a
salad, and I like to freeze the extras for soup in the winter. They
don't have to be the biggest tomatoes in the world, but we would like
something with good flavor.

In field trials by the University of Missouri, these cultivars did well,'BHN
543', 'Florida 91', 'HMX 0800' and 'Mountain Fresh' . This would seem to
indicate that your area is conducive to the more heat tolerant varieties
normally associated with Florida and the Southwest.
