so, is it bad to plant them when it's hot?
if I planted in the beginning of aug, I'd have them by end of sept.
how about if I planted one plant @ the beginning of every month, so the results would be staggered?
Chai, you might want to Google you local agricultural offices to get a list of recommended planting dates in your area. Really hot weather can be tricky to start some veggies.
My garden in CA looked like that - not as structured, but similar. The garden portion of the empty lot was about 30'x100', and had seven mature fruit trees: Plum, apricot, tangerine, fig, orange, lemon, and apple.

I'll do that green witch.

I found this.
A Fall Garden?
Only in Austin! Isn't that Weird?? - late Aug./early-Sept. is the planting time for most vegetables.
Grow/harvest until late Nov./early Dec.(and beyond); great weather to be active and outdoors.
Shhhhh! It's a secret. The bugs don't know about it!
that is very true cj
here we are already having 100+ temperatures. High humidity and strong hot winds.
This will continue until late August, then we get almost spring like weather.
Cool breeze.. 80 degree average days, lower humitidy.. and we can have that type of weather until January.
Then it gets cold, rainy and dark.
March, it warms up, spring rains come.. then May we begin to cook all over again..
CHAI, listen up !.
You can still get tomato PLANTS at the garden center. Plant them really deep or else bend the stem over and fill in with dirt. The deeper you plant the stem, the quicker they shoot new roots and grow. Id supplement the soil with a bag (40 lb) of cheap potting soil (2.50 or less) . Then keep the plant watered and when it starts growing fast, pull off the bottom leaf tendrils (so the thing gets light and air down there).
OK you still have time but not from seed, no way.
