Welcome!

It all depends upon whether your growing season is long enough and the tomato's growing season is short enough.

Go to 'Zone Lookup' in the left sidebar. Enter your zip code and then go to 'the planting calendar'. That will tell you on average when your last and first frost dates are. If you can find a tomato that has enough days left, plant it.

For instance: According to the planting calendar, my first frost date will be October 3. That means my tomatoes have less than 90 days to produce fruit. If you look at the tags on tomato plants, there is always a 'days to maturity'. Those days start when you plant the tomato outside. If I found a tomato that had 56 days to maturity, I would get fruit. If I choose one with 90 days, I'm probably out of luck.
