Where are you at? It may not be you, but the weather. Beefeater
tomatoes (and any of those big juicy ones) cannot tolerate cool
evenings. They grow, but don't set fruit without some spray. I like
the cool evenings myself, but the tomatoes don't. Only early tomatoes
will do OK here. The others don't set fruit until very late, and they
are very cracked and ugly. Cherry tomatoes are generally early, so
that's why I posted this. We have good luck with Early Girls. They
produce tasty but small tomatoes for much of the season.
