Thank you so much! It isn't so bad, here we start seeds in August or September, still hot so no heat mat ever needed. We try to have established plants in time for them to bloom when it finally cools off. Then they continue on until early June, so we have a very long season, plus I get to solarize so I can reuse, less cost that way. Best part - we never have high 90s and up in temp to deal with while growing the tomatoes, so we can grow things even if they dont set fruit well in heat. It's all a matter of timing.
Also, we get amazing mangoes in the summer, good consolation prize!
