Possums got into my tomatoes a couple of weeks ago. And now it's too late to hope for more. This time of the year tomato plants usually start to burn up here in Central Florida. They didn't seem to want the SuperSweet 100's so that's probably what I will plant the most of next year. I really like the flavor of that variety.
