Not enough hours of sun in the fall and too cool at night, you'll get fruit but they won't ripen well and they will be small. I planted spring tomatoes for several years with good success, I started seeds indoors and put them out in April. I used a lot of miracle grow as even if you use garden soil in the ground the sand around it seems to pull the nutrients out the miracle grow did wonders for them. I did not use pots, plant them directly in the ground.
