People tell me the cherry or grape ones do ok, but I prefer real ones I can slice on a burger. Last year I got some beefsteak, dug in lots of compost, watered regularly and the plant was spindly, made two small tomatoes that split, then a fungus killed it. Trying again this year with a supposedly heat tolerant variety. Did same with it, and it's just sitting there. Been in the ground over a month and has hardly grown.
SOOOO..... What are you doing?
