I have the little yellow pear tomatoes growing rampant! We got one plant from Walmart and now have about 5' and plenty starts plants in a little over 2 months. And 5-10 tomatoes a day ready to eat. I just made a little puka in our falling down rock wall - put a styrofoam plate on the bottom to hold the soil up, added composted soil, coffee grounds and grass clippings on top. The coffee grounds (I was told) keep the slugs (and coquis) away and so far it seems to be working, and it is good for the plant.
I never had much luck in Honomu with the Beefsteaks, the white flies got them. We might try one down here where it is sunnier.
