Re: Heat Tollerant Varieties ?
I live in SE GA. I have found that heat tolerant varieties isn't as important as growing during best part of the growing season in your area. It's tough to grow any tomato in the heart of summer with 110F heat index every day with rain. Tough to keep the plants healthy, let alone good tasting tomatoes. I only grow a couple of "heat tolerant" varieties. Other than that, just grow what I want until summer. Eight plants gets us more tomatoes by late June than we can handle.

Same here. Tomatoes are done by end of June. Cowpeas and okra are grown in the Summer.edweather wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 11:27 pm I live in SE GA.
