Thanks for input. Was unaware of 2 growing seasons. If so, must start
new
plants in late January next year to have any chance of decent amount of
fruit prior to May. After that, its too hot. Prior to September is too
hot
for new plants.


February if indoors, mid-March if outdoors. Sometimes it gets hot early,
sometimes late.

Tomato plants doing okay since spring, early March. They were troubled
in August. Now okay. Why would I replant?


Mine rarely make it through August. We replant in late August/early
September, protect from sun for first few weeks.


Not only do they take up valuable garden space, in my yard at least they
tend to act as a pool for stink bugs, coreids and other hemiptera unless I
pull them.
