Tomatoes grow fine here given you get them in the ground early. You probably want to target late February or Early March to get the plants in the ground so if you are starting from seed you need to get them going at the first of the year. This year I started seed on Christmas Day and planted on Feb 25th. Had to deal with a light freeze in Early April but plants survived and did well. Get them in early and hope for as much fruitset before high temps set in.

Lived here all of my life and tomatoes as well as a ton of other vegatables (just about anything you can imagine) given the proper soil, watering, etc, grow extremely well here.

The ground is your canvas here and it is up to you on what you can do with it.

The warm climate combined with fertile soil makes an excellent environment here in east texas.

Thanks for all replies. nOW if I can just get a guarantee that there will be no hurricanes to knock my tomatoes over. FF
