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

So you average 43lbs of tomatoes per plant? While this is certainly not impossible (in a green house or high tunnel under optimum conditions) that is some pretty impressive yields for an amateur grower. I could use some of your dirt for sure.

That is correct. I live in Minnesota and have fantastic soil. It's a very dark, loamy soil with lots of peat. I rarely need to water. Last summer we had lots of rain and I never watered the garden even one time. From those four plants, I made 27 quarts of spicy Bloody Mary mix, 53 pints of salsa, 10 quarts of pizza sauce, 14 quarts of stewed tomatoes, and 12 quarts of pasta sauce. We also ate lots of fresh tomatoes and gave a bunch away.
