Homestead tomato!

I was looking back through some of my notes and wanted to remind everyone of a variety that grew and produced well for me in 2011. I bought it out of curiosity at a nursery. It seemed to be a determinate in growth habit remaining below four feet tall with thick heavy stems to better support the tomatoes. It produced green fruit early which grew in size into the hot months of june and July with an occasional fruit ripening. It set fruit again in late August and produced more nice tomatoes in the fall. It was always heavily laden with large tomatoes that had a very good, rich taste. While many of my plants required shade cloth to protect the hanging fruit from the hot sun, Homestead retained enough thick foliage to provide shade for the tomatoes which grew near the main stem. I didn't grow them this year and I don't have them on my grow list for next year. I do have them on my mind for my 2014 garden to see if they will repeat as a very good tomato in my hot summer climate.
