Growing Tomatoes

Fall Tomatoes

11 years ago

Can y'all recommend good varieties of tomatoes for fall in my zone - NW Louisiana, zone 8a. I'm only going to plant 4 or so plants, and I'm ripping up some of my summer tomatoes to make space, but plan on leaving a few of my summer tomato plants to see if they rejuvenate in the cooler temperatures.

thanks for any suggestions,

Rita

I would shoot for a bush variety along the lines of Surefire,Celebrity, or any 60-70 day tomato plant.

Take care,
Travis
