     we have some kind of disease that gets the tomatoes   
   each year, but normally i can get a decent crop anyways   
   (20 - 40lbs per plant and sometimes even more a two   
   years ago i got 60+ lbs per plant).   
      
     what varieties have you tried to grow?   
      
     the past handfull of years we've mainly grown Big   
   Beef and they are firm, good tasting beefsteaks which   
   are what we like for canning.
