It's not that easy Woofie. We just don't get hot enough, long enough to ripen many or keep them from blighting. Eweed in NW WA has traded me beautiful tomato plant starts a couple years now which helps, and we've had a few cherries and romas already, but the big juicy tomatoes of my Midwest upbringing are just not to be had from our yard. I think if I made a little hoop house, they would get the heat they need.
If you have any tomato secrets though, please spit them out here!
I love them so, and would be willing to try just about anything to get a decent crop.
