Default Trick to growing tomatoes in Brisbane?

I always found that most varieties, including grosse lise, grew well
enough, the real problem is fruit fly.

In the end, I just grew cherry tomatoes because they have a tougher skin
and are more resistant to fly strike. As well, they taste great. They
also grow prolifically, whether you let them spread on the ground or
train them up a wall or fence.


Yeah, cherry tomatoes definitely the most successful. I've got some of
them in at the ends of my bean rows, waiting to take over when beans die
off .

Best vegie in Brisbane is Silverbeet, give it water and you get well
rewarded.
