Has anyone here every planted tomatoes in Arizona or any other arid
climate? When did you plant Feb., March, is April too late? Would
growing indoors be a better solution? If so, my house faces East/West?
Any advice would be helpful!


I put in some tomato starters about two weeks ago (I'm in Tucson), so you could
probably go to your local nursery and pick out some well developed plants.
Make sure you water evenly, and get some shade cloth for the hotter months--you
can lose fruit to sunburn out here. Of course, my garden is in full sun on the
south end of the lot, so shade cloth is a must for me during summer. I've had
good luck with both early girl and celebrity varieties.
