Hot Set Tomatoes

AlittleSalt · May 28, 2016

I've seen them also called Heat Set tomatoes. I have some earmarked as ones I want to try growing in the fall garden. I'll be starting seeds around June 15, so that gives me a few weeks to get seeds if I don't already have them.

I would like your input - especially from experience on hot set tomato varieties I can grow. It doesn't matter if they are OP or Hybrid.

My growing conditions from mid July - November. July is hot and humid 95+F and 70% humidity. Then from August through September, the humidity gets very low <30%, and the high temperatures are generally from 95-100+F with lows around 80F. October and November, it starts cooling off in the 80s and 90s and about average humidity. First frost is around November 23.

Here is my earmarked list so far:

Atkinson
Arkansas Traveler
Bradley
Enduro #1
Floradade
Homestead 24
Missouri 15
MoCross Elgin #9
Monte Verde
Super Sioux
Walter

I haven't read anything saying that Big Beef is a hot set tomato. The others on the list I have read that they are hot set. However, if you know better - let me know.
