Good morning Halapenio,
I see you really are a BRAND NEW member here. Welcome. I will try and answer some questions, but South Africa
growing habits are not familiar to me.
Plum tomatoes work fine for pizza sauce, but if you want low acid tomatoes, you need to plant the yellow ones. That would not give you the typical red of a tomatoe sauce though.
Monkeys is a new problem to me. I have deer, rabbits and groundhogs being my problems. My knowledge of monkeys is that they CLIMB------anything. In order to protect your crop of tomatoes, I would imagine you would have to actually have a cage to keep them in. Do not think that a fence would work.
I don't know how the
seed companies handle things for South Africa, being as you would be in a different season then here. Shipments of
seeds for vegetable gardens won't be happening till about March. The catalogs we are getting now are for things like tuplips and daffodils..........things you plant in the fall and need the cold of winter to make them bloom. Maybe you can ask people on this forum to send you some tomatoe
seeds from their gardens. You would need to tell them some place that they could send them too. You would need to start them right away.
I have no idea what 6 in 1 tomatoes are, so can't help you there.
Have not checked, but suspect if you check this forum, you will find a section on how to grow and take care of tomatoes.
Good luck. Let us know what happens
