If you want a tomato that’s been bred with our local growing conditions in mind, ‘Burnley Surecrop’ is a solid choice. Developed in Melbourne, it grows tall and vigorous and delivers medium-sized, round fruit with the bonus of disease resistance (because tomatoes can be… dramatic). 

Tomatoes are famously nitrogen-hungry, so give this one a good start: dig in nitrogen-rich pea or broad bean plants as green manure, or mix compost and chook manure through the patch about a fortnight before planting.
