I’m looking to do a 180 next year and devote a 30x72 to do tomato production after all.
Gonna do hybrid beefsteaks because I have a buyer lined up that will pay a great price to make it worth it. That and my dad is retired and looking to help with production and delivery which makes it a green light for 2019.
This years crop was just for fun and eating/sharing. I almost gave up last year. Fruit splitting was horrendous on the heirlooms. Big beef was a beast and not one split. And the flavor surprised me and everyone that tried them. And now that I have my injectors dialed in this year, the light went off: I can crank out some poundage with these things. If I could just get a good price. Well that and some help from dad seems to be ready to roll.
Heirlooms just don’t work in my summers in bag culture.
I crossed a plattfoot with an orange jazz just to see what it was like to do a cross.
Planted the f1 seeds this morning. More or less just wanted
to go through the process one time, so I have no plans for it really. It’ll be cool to see and taste the f1 fruit in a few months.

Very good, I am happy you are on your way.
You cannot go wrong with Big Beef, another great Hybrid is Mountain Fresh, it is semi determinate though, but is a tomato machine and taste great.
Post some pics when you get time. I am going to post some cucumber pics this evening, they are loaded big time.
Well, good luck for the rest of the season.
