Tomatoes And Fog

Dennishorlick · January 8, 2010

OK, I have decided to no longer grow the varieties I love the most. Dr. Carolyn told me not to years ago, but i did not listen. I'm ready to listen now.

I live 2400 feet above sea level with a straight shot to the ocean. We get early morning and late fog. temp drops of 15 degrees at night. Through June, no real heat to speak of, then mid July - Sept., 85-100. NO RAIN. I gotta water pretty consistently. I need to know which varieties will do best in these conditions. If my favorites aren't on this list, so be it. I need to have a more successful season and I figure more Heirlooms of any variety is better than Brandywines that fail.

Can someone out there suggest varieties that will do better in these conditions? It would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Dennis
