I planted 11 tomato plants in late Feb...(Im near Houston). Was picking tomatoes in April.

Planted spinach among the new tomato plants and harvested till it got hot...the tomatoes then overgrew where I had the spinach. Had yellow squash and green zucchini...not much production...

Had 5-6 kinds of peppers, not much #’s but they were tasty.

This was in a 10’x10’ plot...

Good luck for the fall season. We only get one growing season up here in New England, and I've never picked a good slicer before Aug first. Such a long wait, but so worth it.

Your compost heap will be fine if you took the tomato foliage out.

Good gardening to you...

Same here. Started plants from seed and still getting a few of the cherry tomatoes. I never have been able to get plants to set tomatoes after July and am proud to be able to pick the last few this month. I thought the day/night time temperature was what determined if a flower sets and thought it was going to be a short season with the early heat and drought. Come on rain and rain some more.
