Welcome Paul, I too am a new member from LA and have been blown away by the site. I live on the other side of the state but conditions are similar. I had great production out of 1st Prize, Big Beef, Cabernet, Steak Sandwich, Floralina, and Small Fry(cherry). I also did good with Brandy Boy and Applause(the earliest tomato I've ever had) but only with the ones planted in April. The 1st Prize (from Tomato Growers Supply) was the most productive tomato I've grown in thirty years of gardening. Set them out June 16 and they are still producing good size tomatoes. Of the heirlooms I grew Marianna's Peace did the best setting fruit even when we had those temps hovering near 100 and it withstood our rampant diseases better than most. Good Luck
