Honeybee from seed. Central Florida. What a terrible time I’ve had with my tomatoes this entire year.
Moved from Gainesville FL to Orlando FL. Growing ANYTHING got a whole lot harder.

I’m in Orlando too. It’s a mix bag here each season. Last year we had Hurricane Milton and somehow my tomatoes did okay after the storm, but had some disease due to the moisture.
This year, I was very specific about varieties with disease packages against leaf spot/early blight, but I’ve still had a ton of disease issues (and whiteflies). Each year is just different, but still worth it.

Im also in Orlando. From what I’ve gathered:
Sept – Dec – normal “summer” crops
Jan – April – cool season crops
May – Aug – literal hellscape. Heat loving crops only

Arkansas- extremely wet early Spring stunted and delayed them. They performed well through the drought though.

Is it because of the size? Cause I don’t see nothing wrong the tomatoes 🤷🏼♂️

I gave up on growing a lot of tomatoes outside with the unpredictable weather. Happy to have enough tomatoes every other week to make something with them growing indoors year-round.
