Lol! Thing about tomatoes is most varieties like it hot but not too hot. If your summer days are over 95 they grow leaves, not flowers, so you have a massive green vine sprawling over everything with no tomatoes at all.
But yeah when I gardened I grew huge beefsteak heritage varieties with fruits six to eight inches wide. Slice one of those thick, still warm from the garden, smear with mayo, salt and lots of pepper between two slices of homemade bread… mmmmmm…
Well, non-vine tomatoes are usually determinate. This means they will only grow a certain amount before dying, every non-flowering but of growth is potential crop being wasted.

Could that work to your advantage? Like let it green and grow out and then you have more plant to spawn flowers when the temperature dips?
