Tomatoes (other than Better Boy) that grow well in South Louisiana

I usually plant a bunch of Romas and cherry/grape tomatoes
they seem to do well every year and they are a little less work

I have had a lot of luck with bi-color and striped tomatoes from Wild Boar Farms. The tomatoes taste incredible and are pretty cool to look at. This was one day's picking from my garden last year.



You can order them straight from the source Wild Boar Farms

LSU AgCenter published a study in 2007 of 13 varieties planted by homeowners around the state. The tomatoes were evaluated for maturity, yield, size, color, shape, etc.

The winner was was Big Beef. They described it as "a mid-season tomato with good yield of medium and large fruit" and "a good-plus taste with a small core and good internal color." "The major attributes of Big Beef is the medium- and large-size fruit and a good-plus taste."

Ultrasonic was the second. Ball’s Beefsteak and First Prize were tied for third.

On the taste test, the top 3 in order were Celebrity, Ultrasonic, and Better Boy.

The Ag Center has a good site, recently revamped, with lots of gardening info. You can also email their experts (at least until the state shuts them down for lack of funding).
