Dubib...my son raises tomatoes, lots of them for farmers market, and he lives in Round Rock and his farm is at Taylor. His seedlings are started in late December, he plants them under white plastic, and makes sure they get watered regularly. When it gets hot, it's about one inch of water every day. He has tomatoes by end of May. He plants about every 2-3 weeks so he has tomatoes for market all summer. He does stake them up off the ground so the soil doesn't cook them when it gets hot. It can be done but it takes a lot of attention.
Jan, I like your LQS's program! I hope you adequately used your discount.
OkSewGlad...what busy days in harvest. Do you have your forages tested so you can balance your feed? We've gotten good rain the past couple of weeks and I'm finally getting some ripe tomatoes. With the heat this summer my beefsteak never set any fruit.
