Gardeners? Tomatoes???
Okay, I've gardened a long time. We are usually down in Florida from mid Jan to early April. Does anyone grow tomatoes down there and bring them back and have early tomatoes? If so, what variet...

I'm from Wisconsin and when I went down to Florida for my first Winter I picked up some tomato plants from the store to plant in pots to keep outside of my MH.
Trust me don't waste your money or time bringing or buying tomato plants. The sun is so hot even in during their winter that you can have a tomato just start turning red in the morning and by noon they have split apart. Gardening as we Midwestern folks know doesn't exist in Florida. :(
After 2 trips to Florida THIS is the only vegetable that will grow in a pot there and actually the Florida sun will grow them to the size of giant mutants!!
Up North these only grow to be 1/10th this size!
BTW: The fresh home grown tomatoes and green beans taste 'awful' in Florida be prepared for that! :W
