Be sure to buy the type of plants that are meant for our area of the country (heat resistant). We have tried to plant tomatoes 4 years in a row. The first three in the ground and they didn't turn out well. This year we bought Phoenix plants and put them in a large pot with amended soil on the patio. We have loads of tomatoes this year and they are all beautiful. When we first moved here into a new area there were no bees to pollinate the flowers either. I think that may have been part of the problem.
