I haven't tried Skyway. I don't have nematodes, so that part of the breeding would be a waste on me.
Thanks, barefoot. I'll probably always have some Big Beef, because I sell plants of it in the spring. It is a variety that I think every home gardener should at least try. But as far as market growing goes, we are trying to move more toward multiple plantings of determinate varieties. Big Beef produces all year, but towards the end of the year, the fruit get smaller and more bug-bitten. |

If I ever quit market gardening, I will most likely grow my entire garden under the cover of a tunnel. |

I actually don't grow them open field anymore, though I love the variety I think they shine brightest in the tunnel. |

Question for the market tunnel growers..do you plant tomatoes year after year?
Or do you have more than one tunnel and rotate crops? |

I have not yet rotated crops. I don't have nematodes or other soil disease problems, so far so good.
