I grow them from transplants from the nursery.
These tomatoes are not heirloom tomatoes. They are bred to resist nematodes, and other plant diseases:

Tycoon Tomato
“Tycoon” tomato is the 2011 Rodeo Tomato. This tomato variety named “Tycoon” is a large, firm, oblate tomato that has very high yield potential, with outstanding fruit quality, on a determinate plant. It is a mid-early variety with heat set ability and high tolerance to tomato yellow leaf curl virus. “Tycoon” also offers tolerance to Verticilium, Fusarium race 1 and 2, nematodes, and tomato spotted wilt virus.

Solar Fire
VFFFSt) Are you tired of looking for a tomato that can be grown in hot, humid and wet climates? Well, look no further, because despite these conditions, these compact plants will set loads of firm, glossy red, crack-free fruits that average 9 to 10 oz. Best used for fresh eating. Disease resistant and also exhibits tolerance to fruit soft rot. Developed by researchers at the University of Florida.

Thanks. I don’t know if there is a nursery around here. Rightly probably knows if there is.
