I'm in Sth FL, Broward county. I'm wondering what the best Tomato for a sth Fl winter is. I have some Cherry, Better boy and purple russian in pots from seed right now, they will be going in the ground end of October. We have a weird season here, I think I shoould be able to harvest the Oct toms in Mid January. I want to start some from seed in the next few weeks, to put in the ground in Jan, harvest in April.
I have read about early, mid and late season varieties. I'm wondering how that correlates to a FL winter. Thanks

I suppose the unknown down here in Sth FL is how the winter is going to be. Last year we had a very cold winter. On sth E coast it got down in the high 30's and some days did not make it higher than 50', thats very unusual for coastal Sth FL. I have seen some winters where it barely dropped below 50' all winter and was in the 80's most of the time. I guess I'll try a few different season types and see what happens.
