Had good luck with tomatoes, they grew all year, I plant in 5 gallon pails with stones in the bottom of the pail. Drill 4 small holes in pail. Place the pails in aluminum pans to hold extra water. I keep the plants in my car port. Very difficult to grow out doors. Soil is not good, too much rain during the summer and hot during the summer months. Only down sized with this method is you HAVE to water every day. This year I'm going with a hydroponics system, peppers, tomatoes and cukes. Good luck!
