When is your 1st frost usually? Ours is generally in Sept. It is pretty much over for tomatoes the end of August. Mine are grown outdoors in earthboxes so by the time the August rains start, it is downhill then. The August rains started in June and continued to frost this year so not much in production for me. Do you have a greenhouse? I usually start tomato seeds mid to the end of March and grow them under shop lights until it warms up enough the end of May, first part of June, to harden off outdoors. What varieties are you growing this upcoming season?
