We tried to grow tomatoes here last summer, and I got ONE ripe tomato out of about six plants! I had to take the rest of the green tomatoes inside and ripen them in a cardboard box. We planted around the middle of June, and had our first frost the last weekend in August. The weather here is not conducive to tomatoes unless you have a greenhouse

So, we did what you did, went down to the local market and bought our tomatoes...
