Tasty yet tough enough for high heat and humidity

b54red · October 18, 2009

I am a new member to this wonderful forum and would like the assistance of other members who live in the sweat belt running from south Texas to south Georgia and northwest Fl. I am searching for some truly tasty tomatoes, preferably indeterminate, that produce decently and can withstand the disease onslaught of this area to try in 2010. I am particularly interested in some heirloom varieties that can set fruit in high temps and weather disease and pests.
I have been gardening for over 30 years and am constantly searching for a better tasting tomato. The one heirloom that has been successful for me was Marianna's Peace. Some others have been partially successful Paul Robeson, Omar's Lebanese, and Giant Belgium.
Have had great success with these hybrids though some are not the tastiest: Big Beef, 1st Prize, Cabernet, Floralina, Celebrity, Applause, Brandy Boy (very tasty) and Small Fry (cherry, tasty).
Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. I love this site. Thanks in advance.
