Growing tomatoes in Fair Oaks (Sacramento) Ca.

FairOaks · October 5, 2015

Hello everybody. This is my first post. Very odd year here in the Sacramento area. With the drought most people planted very early, in my case, late March. I planted Lemon Boy, Ace55, Moskvich, Better Boy, and Roma. Hot temps played havoc with pollination, such that my tomatoes came in waves, with nothing in between. Very frustrating. Now I have nothing after the last avalanche of tomatoes in Sept. Molkvich was the best tasting until the Fusarium got to it, and Better Boy the best producer. I am plagued with Fusarium wilt so I have to plant disease resistant varieties. Looking for any suggestions for heat loving varieties. No heirlooms unfortunately.
