Default winter tomato crop

Yes , I always have a fall crop. I recommend tomatoes with a short maturity
like Early Girl ( 52 days). You need to get your plants started now and
transplant as soon as you can, or leave in large pots if you prefer. You
will have to mulch well and keep them well watered during August and most of
September but late September and October will be your best growing period.
Depending on your start date, fresh tomatoes in late October and thru
November until our first frost. If we are lucky, here in the Austin area, we
can sometimes grow until December before the first frost. I also suggest a
fall bell pepper crop. Cool mornings and warm afternoons really produce good
bells.

Have Fun
