Hi Kate,

We do grow tomatoes, and I’d question your extension agent because I probably have 30 big green tomatoes between four plants. I think the key is knowing which tomatoes. I started mine from seed this year…Cherokee Purple, Mortgage Lifter and Brandywine. We have them in raised beds.

The Cherokee Purple and Mortgage Lifter are doing great…I’ve attached pictures showing some of the green fruit. Not much from Brandywine yet. The first one is one of the Cherokee Purple…what’s left after the demons from the depths of Hell finished. Second is the Mortgage Lifter.

Good luck!

I’ve never been able to get a tomato to set fruit here in central Pender County. My extension agent told me it is too hot here to set fruit.
