Mine are now 4 ft. tall and loaded with tomatoes and usually by mid June/early July they are done and I pull them out the garden.
The heat and humidity of summer kicks them hard and then there's issues with mold and diseases in the summer months.
I used to do the same until a friend suggested parks improved whopper tomatoes.
They handle heat and disease better than any tomato I've ever grown and put out loads of tomatoes.
They will slow down in July and I will replace them with a second set I start around end of May.
I've had tomatoes all the way to November last 2 years doing this.

Never heard of them. Thanks for the heads up. I usually plant a second crop in the late summer to have fresh tomatoes in November. Here in N.O. we haven't gotten any real cold weather during our winter months in ages. Maybe just a night or two near freezing, but that is usually by the time they second crop is done anyway.

Whopper is a great indeterminate tomato.
