I had tomatoes producing from November well into June last year. But my problem was keeping the rats, birds and squirrels from eating them all. I bet I only harvested about 30% of the tomatoes I grew. Very annoying. I trapped rats, and bagged the fruit, and tried all sorts of scent and other deterrents. Still came out each morning to chewed tomatoes.
So for Christmas my husband built me this. Nice large tomato cage with a door at the back and everything. Now no more chomped fruit! Now I need to tactfully ask him to build a couple more . . .
Ps. there was no link to a video in your post above

Aside from protecting the fruit from critters, the single most important factor in growing tomatoes successfully in Florida is choosing disease-resistant varieties. The wonderful heirlooms that people grow up north just do not survive to produce fruits down here. Need the ones with all the letters and numbers on the seed packets.
