They do fine with the irrigation water. You probably just need to improve your soil.

I've never had luck with tomatoes past early May.

On another note, isn't the water we use for irrigation come from the water in the golf course lakes? I remember reading that all the course are shaped like a bowl so the water runs into the lakes, which are used for our irrigation?

They like Florida weather if you use Florida91 F1 hybrid seeds.
