chelle said:I grow all heirlooms now, except for a few that volunteer year after year. Those volunteers are just showing now, but they're growing quickly. They're cherry tomatoes and romas, and usually start producing a few weeks before my big tomatoes...in mid-to-late August. So, these might be good choices to try direct-sowing late.

Good info, Chelle! Thanks!

I usually grow all heirlooms too but I must admit, I'm very fond of my volunteers that show up every year, before the others, and have a long growing season! Mine are cherry tomatoes too. Maybe romas next year, since I grew some this year for the first time. They acted like determinates and are already finished!
