Our first frost is generally mid-Sept., but can come earlier.

I have no special tricks or tips, but . . .

Have any of you folks noticed that tomato flavor goes rapidly downhill after mid- or late-August?

It has led to us really not bothering with a lot of the most heralded varieties discussed hereabouts.

So for us, frost isn't always the limiting factor. The cool temps and the August rains mentioned above (lake effect rain here - from Lake Ontario) are the limiters.
